Watching the ferries sail to and fro on the East River will become part of your daily routine at this wonderful Murray Hill Apartment. It's right on the riverfront, giving you an excellent view of glistening Long Island City across the water – you can enjoy the vistas from bed with a morning coffee, or with a sundowner on the wonderful private balcony. The rest of the apartment is understated yet chic, with statement prints on the walls and comfortable furnishings that will make you feel right at home during your stay. If you fancy a workout then simply pop to the on-site gym, or opt for a gentler start to your day with a hearty breakfast at the glass table. Seeing the sights is easy from here – a walk to visit the iconic Empire State Building or Grand Central Station takes just fifteen minutes. The excellent transport links make getting around the rest of the city easy too – those travelling for business will be glad to know that the subway will whizz you to the financial district in just half an hour.

Nice to haves

While this home may be modest in square footage, it sure is mighty. Packing a punch in both convenience and amenities, a solo traveller or couple will be very happy here. With an impressive private terrace – that's almost as big as the home itself – you can thoroughly enjoy some downtime after a busy day with an aperitif under the stars. When you do find yourself at home, there's a comfortable sofa, writing desk and kitted-out kitchen complete with washer and dryer – a rarity in an NYC studio – so you can show up and start living as soon as you arrive. And did we mention that it's only a ten-minute walk to the Flatiron building? Continue for ten minutes more and you’ll reach the Empire State, the Morgan Library and Museum and the tucked away barbecue joints of bustling Koreatown.

Is there anything more quintessentially New York than exposed brick walls? We don't think so, and this studio flat in Gramercy Park delivers on that front. This apartment may be snug, but it has plenty of style – we're obsessed with the orange sofa, for instance – and the space is super cosy. There's even a patio with a lush outdoor sofa and a picnic table, which is rare for this part of town. When the weather is nice, sit out there with a glass of wine and soak up the sunshine, whiling away the sultry summer evenings. We're not going to deny that the kitchen is pretty compact, but that's all part of the charm of living like a true New Yorker. It's well-stocked with everything you need, but seeing as space is tight, we think you'll lean towards dining out. If that's the case, you're in luck – Gramercy Park has an array of upscale eateries and trendy bars for you to try. Also nearby is the farmer's market at Union Square – a fifteen-minute walk – which has fresh fruit and veg if you decide to rustle up a meal. This is a quieter spot, but it's still close to all the sights – you can walk to Times Square in half an hour, but 23rd Street Station is a ten-minute stroll if you'd rather take the subway.

One More Cup Of Coffee

Live like a real New Yorker at this loft home, located in one of the best neighbourhoods in the Big Apple. Situated between peaceful Kips Bay and affluent Gramercy Park, you'll have plenty of fashionable restaurants on your doorstep, while key attractions such as Madison Square Park and the Flatiron building are around a ten-minute stroll. Or browse the shops of Waterside Plaza, next to the East River, the same distance away.

Pick up some local delicacies from one of the nearby 24/7 delicatessens (this is the City That Never Sleeps, after all) to enjoy back at this studio. We love its exposed brick walls, large windows and cheery yellow sofa. It's the perfect place to rest your feet after a busy day of sightseeing or work if you're here on business (there's a desk here too). Or rustle up some New York-style cuisine in the kitchen – everything you need is here.

This New York home is more five-star hotel suite than apartment. Your hosts have thought of everything – and we mean everything – from acupuncture to private car services and photo developing to shoe repair and shining. Whatever you need, consider it done. Bright, fresh and tastefully decorated throughout, you’ll feel at ease as soon as you step through the door. The living space has enough room for entertaining if you wish to have a couple of friends over for dinner and the sumptuously dressed king-sized bed calls for early nights and late starts. You’ve access to an on-site gym and shared roof terrace – it’s extra special when dusk falls. In your Murray Hill neighbourhood, there are countless bars and restaurants catering to all cravings. Plus, the Empire State Building and iconic Fifth Avenue are just a thirteen-minute walk away.

When you want to be in the thick of things in NYC, Midtown is the place to stay. All of the city’s major sights are within easy reach, so you can spend your time away doing what’s important to you, whether that’s taking in the view from the Empire State Building, or exploring the city’s museums and galleries. 

This apartment sits on the 21st floor of a building in the heart of Midtown, just two blocks from popular Murray Hill. It’s next to the East River, so you can start your day with a jog along the esplanade if you’re feeling active. If, like us, you prefer a slower start to the day, you might call into one of the many restaurants nearby for brunch – there’s no shortage of top-notch eateries in this area, so you’re never far from your next great meal. 

In addition to being centrally located, this apartment is also oh-so-convenient. You’ll have access to the shared gym and the laundry room, so you can really make yourself at home. After a hectic day of seeing the sights, this is a great space to come home to – it's stylish and comfortable, with everything you might need to hand. You can whip up dinner in the kitchen – ideal when you've had one too many slices of pizza and are craving something home-cooked – and settle down at the table by the window for a relaxed meal. After a chilled-out evening, you'll sink into the cosy bed for a good night's sleep – the bedroom feels like a little haven in such a busy city. This light and welcoming home is the perfect Midtown base.

We particularly love this historic townhouse's location, slap bang in the middle of chic Manhattan. Marvel at the Empire State Building or catch a game at Madison Square Gardens – both under a ten-minute walk away. Or, browse Dover Street Market, a one minute saunter from here, for its cool clothing and gourmet café. That's breakfast and lunch covered – there are many fine dining options within walking distance for dinner too. If you don't fancy eating out or cooking in, it's just a two-minute walk to the local deli, so take some goodies back and enjoy in this home's giant back garden. Inside, this quirky and charming residence is packed with original features, making it a homely place to stay in the city that never sleeps. When you do need to get some shut-eye, though, the bedrooms are super cosy and brimming with character. 

Rigoletto

Located in tree-lined Murray Hill, this laidback apartment offers some breathing space from New York City’s pulsing streets. The interiors are modern yet unpretentious with teal dining chairs adding a pop of colour to the neutral living space. There’s a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook up your favourite dinners and comfortable bedrooms that guarantee a peaceful slumber. 

Mornings begin on the balcony, coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over the East River. If you like to keep fit while you’re away, work up a sweat in the communal gym or go for a jog along the nearby East River Greenway. In the afternoon, tick off New York’s most famous landmarks, starting with the Empire State Building, only a fifteen-minute walk away. Visit Times Square, Fifth Avenue and the Museum of Modern Art before ending another whirlwind day with a cocktail in a stylish Midtown Manhattan bar.

This incredible penthouse apartment in the NoMad area of Manhattan is in a prime location to see all the sights and attractions on offer in the city that never sleeps. Plus, it offers space that you will rarely see in this city. A large indoor living area offers an ample kitchen with a breakfast bar, plenty of comfortable sofa seating, an office space with a fireplace to catch up on your work, and even a walk-in wardrobe to store all your shopping from Macy’s and Time’s Square – a twenty-three-minute walk away.

Plenty of Manhattan’s bucket list attractions are also nearby, with the East River reachable in twenty minutes on foot. The Empire State Building is only a short ten-minute walk away, or for a different view from above the city, the Rockefeller Center is reachable in twenty-seven minutes on foot. 

The home’s crowning glory, however, is the private rooftop terrace where you can enjoy your morning bagel with stunning views of the cityscape, including catching a glimpse of the top of the Empire State Building – which is a short fifteen-minute walk from here. The rooftop terrace also has comfortable seating under a shaded awning surrounded by plants, perfect for relaxing with a good book when you need a break from exploring the city. Plus, why not take a dip in the plunge pool on warmer days, and then dry off in front of the roaring fire? We would also love to return to the rooftop at night to cook on the barbecue and enjoy our meals alfresco accompanied by the fantastic panoramas and the sounds of the bustling city below. 

A Fairytale of New York

Clean and modest – the design in this apartment won’t blow you away, but it’s got everything you need. From the large windows, you have a fantastic view of the East River and some of New York’s infamous high rises. The building itself offers a roof terrace and a fitness centre, which are available to guests. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll want to spend most of your time out and about anyway. 

The Lion's Den

Right on the banks of the East River, this Murray Hill apartment has an enviable view of the river and city skyline. It’s a classy space of hardwood floors and gallery-white walls with a few pops of modern art livening things up. The white leather sofa was made for reclining and looks like the kind of piece a 1950s sci-fi author would dream up. While the galley kitchen is tucked away behind an alcove and has everything you need for self-catering.

In the building, you’ve got access to a stunning roof terrace, lush with greenery and with a view over the tops of skyscrapers to the river and beyond. If you want to keep on top of your fitness schedule, guests here have access to a fully-equipped gym too.

In Murray Hill, you’ve got buzzing eateries and shops galore on your doorstep. Strolling along East 34th Street you can reach the Empire State Building in fifteen minutes on foot letting you know just how central you are here.

From Shore To Skyscraper

Marvel at the spectacular views over New York's East River and Manhattan from this luxury apartment's stylish and expansive rooftop terrace. It's the perfect place for a sundowner – perhaps a cosmopolitan or a glass of champagne while you watch the light fade over the city. Or, admire the vistas from inside – we particularly love the ones from the bedroom. If you want to keep up with your fitness regime, there's also a communal gym here. The location of this home is no less impressive, situated in prestigious Murray Hill, go for a stroll along the riverside – it's just one block away, while the United Nations Building is a ten-minute walk. One of the Big Apple’s most iconic landmarks, the Empire State Building, is a fifteen-minute saunter and Grand Central Station is just twenty minutes on foot. This home is perfect if you want to live like a true New Yorker.

Manhattan Serenade

You’ll find this studio apartment in Gramercy Park, making it a great spot for both business and leisure travellers. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited here. The kitchenette is small, but it’s equipped with enough to rustle up some light bites or late-night snacks – and with a plethora of restaurants in the nearby area, dining out is sure to be on the menu. And with easy access to the subway, you can head into the city for some sightseeing with ease. 

Gramercy Charm

Cafetiere

From the swoon-worthy brick walls and wooden beams to the mustard yellow sofa with furry throw pillows, this studio apartment has New York cool written all over it. 

Though it may be snug, it has everything you'll need for a relaxed stay, including a sleek kitchenette, a cosy living area and an in-suite washer and dryer – a rarity in NYC. There's a trendy vibe here that fits with the super cool locale. Business travellers will be happy to see the desk – perfect if you need to do a spot of work – while those in town for sightseeing will appreciate the proximity to 23rd Street station, just eight minutes away on foot. 

Gramercy Park is a small pocket of Manhattan known for its upscale eateries and village atmosphere, and your prime locale puts you within easy walking distance of both the Flatiron Building (ten minutes) and the Empire State Building (twenty minutes). We recommend popping over to Union Square Greenmarket (a thirteen-minute walk) on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays for some fresh fruit and veg to use in a delicious dinner at home. Or if you're in the mood to go out, grab a drink and a bite to eat at one of the neighbourhood's buzzing bars, restaurants and 24-hour delis.

Gramercy Yellow

Cot / Crib

This luxurious home is a Gramercy Park gem. Step from the tree-lined block to a world of style and elegance, accessed via a grand staircase. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you take in the 12-foot-tall ceilings, marble staircase, and piano in the parlour. The chef’s kitchen, which leads to a deck with direct access to a private landscaped garden space, is a splendid spot for gathering together, whether you’re a keen home cook or prefer to order in. The rest of this beautiful home unfolds over three floors – there’s no chance of feeling crowded here. 

Gramercy Goals

This New York apartment on East 34th Street is close to the East River, which you can see from your window. Why not start each day with a bagel from the cafe that is a short two-minute walk from your home, and while you eat it, plan out your day in the city that never sleeps? 

Much of what New York City has to offer is within walking distance from this home, including, the Chrysler Building – a short sixteen-minute walk away, and the Empire State Building, which is a short fifteen-minute walk away. Ascend to the top of the Empire State Building and admire the city from above. Or, take a quick eight-minute cab journey to admire the city from the Rockefeller city, instead, providing a different perspective of Manhattan from the top of the rock. What’s more, the One World Observatory and the 9/11 memorial are just eleven minutes away from this apartment by car. 

Wander past the Flat Iron building, which can be reached within twenty-five minutes by foot, and take a rest in Madison Square Gardens. Go shopping in Times Square, which is just seventeen minutes away, on public transport. Or, watch a musical in one of Broadway’s world-famous theatres – just eleven minutes away by car. 

Spend the day in Central Park – just eleven minutes away from this home in a cab – and as you wander the expansive green space, enjoy the fountains, statues, boating pond or even the zoo. Or, hop on a ferry for twenty-two minutes to explore Roosevelt Island. 

Grand Central station is also within walking distance from this home and can be reached within twenty-one minutes. Admire the amazing painted ceilings with their constellations, or meet some by the famous clock. 

Whether you choose to take in some art at the MOMA – a thirty-five minute walk away, or visit Radio City Music Hall – an eleven-minute drive away, there are plenty of sights to see and activities to enjoy not far away from this apartment. 

East River Mornings

Bicycles

This home is small – there's no way around it. What makes it stand out though is its efficient use of space and how the mid-century furniture creates a clean and simple look, making the space feel homely but not too busy. The bathroom has been recently renovated, although there are some scuff marks on the walls, and the kitchen is also of a high standard, albeit small. The best part is the outdoor deck, which is as big as the entire home and has tonnes of seating, so you can spend long evenings drinking wine with your friends. 

Colman’s

Newly renovated, this home boasts modern furnishings and a charming interior. It may be on the small side, but it’s got the ease and cleanliness of a perfect vacation rental, especially in a city where we reckon you’ll be spending most of your time out and about. Your host is also super experienced and will be available should you need anything during your trip. This isn’t the most exciting neighbourhood in the city, but its proximity to many vibrant areas makes it super convenient and offers a place of refuge after a busy day (or night).  

Strathclyde

The Peach has been newly renovated and great care has gone into ensuring a comfortable stay (we're looking specifically at that rainfall shower!) This home has impressively squeezed a full kitchen, plus all the amenities you'll need, into a very small space without making it feel too cramped. Better yet, you're situated in Gramercy, a tree-lined neighbourhood with a distinct small-town feel in a super central location, it's no wonder so many A-listers call this part of Manhattan home. Join them in trying the many great restaurants and bars in this chic area. 

The Peach

With the mighty East River flowing right below you, you’ll be riding high on the waves of New York City living in this stylish apartment. Clean lines, dark wood floors and bright white walls create an air of refined simplicity in the living room, with a dining table framed by large windows inviting you to start mornings off with a bagel and coffee before a day of sightseeing. The bedroom, too, is all about the light with a large window and comfortable bed providing an instantly soothing wake-up before you hit the on-site gym downstairs. When you’re not hanging out at home, go out and explore your surroundings. You couldn’t be better placed to visit some of the city’s most iconic sights, including the Chrysler and Empire State buildings (both a fifteen-minute walk away), the United Nations Headquarters (ten minutes away on foot) and Grand Central Station (a twenty-minute stroll away). With the bright lights of Times Square also just a thirty-minute walk from your door, there’s no end to the entertainment in store here. 


East River Spirit

Games Room

The clean and bright interiors of this NYC apartment create a feeling of sophisticated ease and refinement from the get-go. It's also got its own balcony from which you can enjoy the urban views and a larger shared terrace on the roof of the building for sundown cocktails. Other luxury perks include a communal games room and the option to arrange in-home spa services, so you'll be well looked after. Located in Murray Hill, a dynamic yet peaceful part of Midtown, you'll be close to the action but far enough to get a breather from all the Manhattan madness. If you feel like a quiet indoor moment's downtime, settle in on the cream sofa with an art catalogue. We love the electric blue tones and abstract art dotted around. Keep one eye on work at the sleek glass-topped deskspace too. For those ticking off their New York bucket list, you're less than a fifteen-minute walk from the Empire State Building and only twenty-four minutes (on foot) from lively Times Square – you're right at the core of the Big Apple here. 

Pink Orchid

Nestled on the East River, this smart apartment is a great base in Manhattan's Murray Hill. You can live like a true New Yorker and enjoy the views while you sip your morning coffee and plan your day. Both business travellers and tourists alike will love the Midtown location – you can arrive in the financial district within half an hour using public transport, while the iconic Empire State Building and Flatiron Buildings are just a fifteen-minute stroll away. Plus, with the East River Ferry leaving from pretty much right outside the building, you can sail over the Brooklyn and enjoy spectacular views of the city as you go. At the end of the day, come home to de-stress with a workout in the gym, or head up to the shared roof terrace to make new friends and enjoy a cool drink as the sun sets over NYC.

Empire State Of Mind

Paid Parking On Premises

This home is an oasis of calm within the hectic merry-go-round that is Manhattan's Midtown. As soon as you step foot into this apartment, an aura of tranquility will wash over you, thanks to the neutral colour palette, parquet flooring and tasteful artworks. You'll feel right at home flopping down on the L-shaped sofa or cooking up a feast in the kitchen between adventures. The gates of Central Park are just two blocks away from the front door and, in the other direction, you'll find the theatres of Broadway and Times Square. There are excellent transport links to help you navigate the city, and those travelling on business will be happy to know that the subway can whizz you to the financial district in less than half an hour. At the end of the day, you can hit the shared gym for an invigorating workout, or watch the city light up from your window – the views are pretty special. 

Crisp White

Sauna

Situated on a one-way street in the heart of Greenwich Village that Eleonor Roosevelt once called home, this six-storey Romanesque Revival building makes for a classic New York home from home.

Inside, the spacious apartment blends original nineteenth-century features and modern finishes offering a breathtaking fusion of styles. An open-plan living room/kitchen provides direct access to the outdoors via a balcony, alongside expansive views over downtown. So there's plenty of space to come together and socialise, whether you're stretched out on the sofa or preparing dinner in the handcrafted kitchen. 

Elsewhere, the bedrooms offer a haven of zen-like calm in the middle of Manhattan, with walk-in wardrobes and a Carrara marble en-suite off the main bedroom, adding a touch of luxury. Head upstairs, and you'll uncover a rooftop terrace that offers direct southern vistas over Washington Square Park, MacDougal Alley and the Empire State Building. 

Down at street level, the delights of Greenwich Village await. Undoubtedly Manhattan's most charming neighbourhood, it's attracted the city's quirky and creative types since the sixties. Uproarious comedy clubs and excellent restaurants make it a real nighttime destination, but there's plenty to do during daylight hours. Stroll half a block to the much-loved Washington Square Park, lay out on Pier 45, or wander up to Chelsea Market for cuisine from every part of the globe – both fifteen minutes away.

Macdougal Lofts

This charming duplex lies in Manhattan's West Village. Spread over multiple levels with the kitchen up on the mezzanine, groups will have plenty of space here, though you'll need to climb a lot of stairs. If you're looking for a home base while working remotely, you'll find computer equipment and standing desks to maximise productivity. The private garden is spread over two tiers and is equipped for barbecues, with outdoor seating and sun loungers. While children and little ones aren't permitted, we think friend groups will love it here thanks to its proximity to bars, restaurants and shops.

Found in a highrise in the heart of Manhattan, this apartment, perched above the city, overlooks the skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. With the home being where it is, you'll find yourself within walking distance of the world-famous Central Park, hip cafes, and other must-see landmarks. With a big tick on location, there's also a communal swimming pool, fitness room and sauna to win you over. Ideal for two couples or a small family coming to explore all the Big Apple has to offer.  

The Manhattan

You’ll find this apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, surrounded by entertainment venues, cafes, bars and restaurants – so, it’s safe to say you won’t ever be short of things to do here. The home itself is well-equipped, and while it can sleep four guests with two on the sofa bed, we think it's better suited to families who don’t mind sharing one space. The cherry on the cake for us? The outdoor space. A rarity in New York, and just the spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. 

One Day in New York

DVD Player

We love this stylish home's location in hip Tribeca, a neighbourhood known for its cobblestone streets lined with fashionable boutiques and chic restaurants. Chinatown is a twenty-minute walk or eight-minute ride, while the One World Trade Centre is eight minutes on foot. The iconic Empire State building is a fifteen-minute drive (just over twenty minutes on the bicycles your lovely host Yvonne provides), or if you fancy some green space, Washington Market Park is a mere two-minute stroll.

Back at this apartment, head up to the gorgeous, private roof terrace and take in the views over the Freedom Tower. Inside, textural 3D artworks adorn the walls, and dark oak floors are enlivened with colourful rugs and furnishings. For the kids, there's a fantastic play area with plenty of toys, books and games. There's a home cinema set up too. Our favourite feature, though, has to be the swing in the living area – so random and yet so right. This playful home is perfect for a family.





It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing	

Nestled in the Upper East Side, this cosy apartment is an ideal base for tourists and business travellers alike – and for those in the city for work, the desk is just the ticket for catching up on emails outside the office. The bedroom is a bit of a squeeze, but it has everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep. And in terms of location, you’re onto a winner. When you fancy a fresh air stroll or jog, Central Park is just a short distance away, while nearby Lexington Avenue is ready to meet your retail therapy needs. 

Urban Sophistication

Private Washing Machine

You’ll find this contemporary apartment in the heart of the Upper East Side – and with easy access to a selection of subway lines, hopping across the city is a breeze. With high-speed wi-fi and a desk in the second bedroom, remote working is easy for those in the city on business. But the star of the show here is the outdoor space – a rarity in NYC. After a busy day exploring the Big Apple, the private balcony is the perfect place to unwind. Craving some greenery? Take a stroll through nearby Central Park, instead.
