In a little-trafficked (by Manhattan standards) corner of the Upper East Side, Heirloom provides you with a haven to retreat, away from the bustle normally associated with the city. That calm feeling has clearly influenced the interior design as well, with certain nods to Scandinavia, and nice variety of houseplants. The kitchen’s a draw too, with a good set of appliances (although no food is provided). It’s set over two floors, with a terrace split over two levels as well, so even if you decide to use the futon, it feels like it’s big enough.

Situated in the heart of the desirable Upper East Side in Manhattan, you’ll be surrounded by an array of boutiques, restaurants and bars. You can have a stroll along its tree-lined streets filled with brownstone homes or visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. Housed in a well-maintained building, you’ll be glad to return to this modern apartment. If you don’t fancy eating out, you can create some home cooked food in the well-equipped kitchen. This place is ideal for family, friends or business colleagues looking for a fantastic location in the Big Apple.

This New York apartment made it into our collection for its desirable location in the Upper East Side. You’ll have the Guggenheim close by for culture and Madison Avenue for shopping, as well as an array of eateries serving everything from classic New York bagels to Michelin-starred cuisine. Though compact, the home has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, a full-size sofa, and a dining table. And while there may not be any outdoor space here, the world-famous Central Park is within walking distance if you want to swap the city streets for open space.

Wellness & Fitness

Tucked away in the Upper East Side, this cosy apartment lends itself well to a big city stay. Space is limited, but for a work trip or a weekend getaway it's got a great location, and you can even bring a furry friend for a fee. The compact kitchen lets you rustle up snacks or small meals, while the surrounding restaurants and cafes offer everything from classic bagels and cronuts to Michelin-starred cuisine. In one direction you'll find Central Park, with the scenic East River in the other. To top it all off, nearby subway stations make commuting or sightseeing a breeze.

Dreams on the Upper East Side

This pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment lies in the heart of the Upper East Side, ideal for couples or solo travellers. It's all about location, location, location here, with the subway a short walk away providing excellent travel links for sightseeing or commuting. With plenty to see on foot, you'll be walking your furry friends at Central Park or visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in no time at all. The kitchen is well-equipped, but we think it's best for prepping lighter bites thanks to its small size. Fear not, though – you'll find a wealth of local restaurants nearby to taste all New York City has to offer.

New York, New York

The Tangerine is a small but newly renovated studio in the Upper East Side. Its decor is simple yet sophisticated and there's a sense of charm that many other corporate style apartments don't have. And despite its size, it's quite well-appointed with a rainfall shower and separate desk space. 



The Tangerine

Tucked away in the Upper East Side, this home is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller on a New York getaway. Sure, it’s not the biggest, but it has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including a kitchenette perfect for rustling up light bites. Locally, hop on the Roosevelt Island Tram to explore across the East River, or take a stroll to Central Park to soak up some green space, less than twenty minutes away on foot.

Why compromise a good night's rest when you come to the city that never sleeps? There's no need to in this quiet and calming Upper East Side duplex. With two floors of space for six of you to unwind at a fantastic value, you'll be content as can be during your stay. And there's even a balcony where you can watch the city pass by on pleasant evenings. Though the decor isn't particularly homey, it's been recently renovated making the bathroom and kitchen especially luxurious. 



Safe & Sound

In the heart of New York's prestigious Upper East Side, this functional apartment serves as a homely base for families or two couples. Due to its small size, the living area feels a little cluttered – the same is true of the bedrooms, which don't offer much space beyond the bed. We also think the home doesn't get as much sunlight as we would like. That said, you have everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the location is fantastic – you're just a short walk from the East River and Central Park, and there are plenty of eateries and cafes close by.

We suggest less work and more play here, however with countless sights waiting to be discovered right on your front step. 

Explore your neighbourhood’s high-end eateries and chic boutiques, or grab a coffee and take a stroll through Central Park, a ten-minute walk away.

This chic apartment is on the fourth floor of a beautiful townhouse in the affluent neighbourhood of the Upper East Side, just a few minutes walk away from Central Park. Striking artwork adorns the walls inside, adding a pop of character to plush furnishings and light-filled rooms. The living room feels lived in like a comfy blanket with its distressed rug and board games for quiet evenings in. Though you’re in the heart of New York here, so you’d probably rather head out for a carriage ride through Central Park or to the trendy bars and fine restaurants of the Upper East Side. If you want to explore further, it’s just 2-3 stops on the subway to Times Square and all that Midtown has to offer.

The Wizards of Central Park

Nestled in one of New York City's most desirable neighbourhoods, this stylish pet-friendly apartment makes a great base for professionals or friends looking to immerse themselves in local life. You'll have all the basics here and the compact kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up light meals or evening snacks.

Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for a fee, so you can bring the whole family along. You'll find the compact kitchen plenty capable when it comes to rustling up something tasty, and there's a wide selection of eateries on your doorstep if you're not feeling up to cooking. Central Park isn't far to walk, and public transport is easily accessible for getting around, whether you're commuting or ticking the sights off your bucket list.

With a View

Desk

Situated on the Upper East Side, this apartment is an ideal base whether you’re in New York for business or leisure. Remote working comes easily, with a desk set up in one of the bedrooms, while the location means you’re just a short walk from some of the city’s iconic museums, such as the Met and the Guggenheim. Sure, it’s not the most spacious, and the bedrooms, in particular, are a bit of a squeeze, but you’ll find everything you need here and excellent transport links nearby. 

The Tourist

Electricity Adaptors

Umbrellas

Built at the turn of the twentieth century, this home is drenched in character and vintage charm. The dark walls and blue carpet add a bit of gloom, which actually works quite well in this nostalgic setting. However, the arrangement is slightly odd because the living room is at the back of the building, meaning there is very limited natural light, while the bedroom faces Madison Avenue, which can get pretty noisy during rush hour. But it's actually this outstanding location that makes the home special – New Yorkers call this the “Upper East Side Gold Coast.”

This Upper East Side home is a beautiful base in NYC. As you enter, your eye is immediately drawn to the private south-facing garden – the perfect spot for laid-back summer evenings. This warm and inviting home has been renovated to the highest standard and features double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. We love the fireplace in the main bedroom, too. In terms of location, you couldn’t be better placed. Central Park is a short stroll away, and the rest of the city’s top sights are within easy reach. 

The Quartet

This family-size home is only a short walk from Central Park, with many of NYC's other major landmarks within easy reach. Located on the Upper East Side, you'll be just a few steps away from historical buildings, trendy eateries and high-end boutiques. The apartment itself offers everything needed for a comfortable stay, with three uncluttered bedrooms and a study desk area – perfect for those working remotely. The kitchen is fully-equipped for preparing homemade meals, though there's only enough dining space for four guests. That said, there are countless dining options on your doorstep. 

The New Manhattan

If you’re looking for a fuss-free city pad in one of New York’s most desirable neighbourhoods, then you can stop scrolling now. This contemporary home is located in the heart of the Upper East Side, known for its world-famous museums – including the Met and the Guggenheim – and designer boutiques. While the apartment has everything you’ll need for a successful stay, at full occupancy four people will be sharing one bathroom so it might feel like a bit of a squeeze. We think this place will suit a couple of couples who favour location over square footage.

Uptown Chic

Batik Balance is a fresh and beautifully decorated home on the Upper East Side. The terrace off of the bedroom may be small but makes a bright addition to this home and allows tonnes of natural light to flood the bedroom (and the rest of the apartment.) With its desirable location close to Midtown and a bunch of great restaurants and museums nearby, this is a perfect spot for those who are new to the city. 

Batik Balance

Whether you're in town on business or here to experience the hustle and bustle of The Big Apple, this Upper East Side apartment is the place to be if browsing museums, dining at gourmet restaurants and boutique shopping are all on your to-do list. When you're not strolling through Central Park – ten minutes on foot – or visiting the galleries on Museum Mile – the Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim are all within walking distance – you can relax and unwind on the plush velvet sofa in the cosy living room. The bedroom is bright and super stylish, and we love the high ceilings in each room – they're thirteen feet tall and give this home a great sense of space. Though the kitchen is compact, it's still got everything you need to whip up light breakfasts and lunches, and there's even a desk if you need to catch up on work emails. We think it's perfect for a couple or solo travellers wanting to stay in one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Bluer Than Velvet

Within walking distance of Central Park and the sights of Fifth Avenue, this brownstone townhouse couldn’t be more in the thick of it. You won’t need a car here, but if you do intend on bringing a vehicle, there are two paid public parking garages next door. Multiple communal areas make this place ideal for any group – though you’ll need to be able to manage stairs, as the home is spread across four floors. There’s ample storage and wardrobe space, which is ideal for longer stays, and the private patio is a rarity in this postcode.

The Modern Times

Balcony

Stay in the heart of the Upper East Side, a somewhat quieter pocket of New York City that’s still packed with good food, stylish people and excellent shopping. You’ll be just twelve minutes from the beautiful Central Park – ideal for picnics and evening strolls – and just seventeen minutes from The Metropolitan Museum of Art for rainy museum afternoons. Plus, should you want to explore the rest of Manhattan, the subway station is a quick three-minute walk away. Back at home, you’ll find a neat modern space with natural light and a pleasant feel. With a charming kitchenette, sleek desk, roomy bathroom and private balcony, this little flat has all the comforts of home and then some, making it the ideal rest stop in a city constantly on the move.  

Calm Before the Storm

Live like a true Upper East Sider in this stylish apartment, located in the heart of New York's most exclusive neighbourhood. The host has recently renovated this from top to bottom, creating a smart space that fuses contemporary tastes with traditional touches. You'll love the brick fireplace and statement stable door, juxtaposed with the modern furniture and abstract artworks on the walls. The wooden dining table makes entertaining a breeze, but if you'd rather eat out then you'll be spoilt for choice by the wealth of eateries in the area. Central Park is just a ten-minute walk away, and the world-famous galleries and museums of Museum Mile are just a stroll away too. If you're in town for shopping then nearby Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques won't disappoint, but if you're travelling for business then Lower Manhattan is just half an hour away on the subway.

Floating Staircase

With its tree-lined streets and historic brownstones, it's no wonder the Upper East Side has a reputation for being one of the most prestigious postcodes in NYC. A stay in this stylish apartment will have you living like one of Manhattan's elite – grab a coffee and browse the art galleries on Museum Mile (including the Metropolitan Museum of Art ten minutes away), enjoy an afternoon stroll in Central Park and spend evenings dining at some truly excellent upmarket eateries. If a relaxed evening at home is more your style, the cushy white leather couch has you covered. It's the perfect spot to rest weary legs after a day of sightseeing, and the well-stocked kitchen is ideal for rustling up homecooked meals. The space is bright and roomy, and the design minimal yet sophisticated – think glossy parquet floors in the living area, sleek marble in the bathroom and shiny geometric backsplash in the kitchen. There's also a communal gym in the building and a 24-hour doorman, so you'll be well looked after here, day or night.

The Priestly

The unbeatable Manhattan location and contemporary finishings make this home the perfect spot to explore the Big Apple from. Whether you're visiting on business, as a solo traveller, or treating your other half to a city getaway, it's a great place to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

Minimalist interiors in grey and white are brightened up with pops of green from the house plants. You might be in New York but the Scandinavian style decor provides a sanctuary of relaxation to return to – especially after a day or night out in the city. And if you're in town for work you'll be pleased to make use of the desk area, where there's enough room for one person to work with their laptop. 

Located on the Upper East Side of New York City, you'll be based in a beautiful neighbourhood that combines classic brownstones with upscale high-rises. Renowned for its wealthy residents, chic restaurants, and the designer shops of Madison Avenue, you'll see first-hand why it's so frequently labelled as the fanciest district of NYC. Walk the gorgeous streets, dotting in and out of cafes and boutiques as you go, before relaxing in Central Park all afternoon – it's only twelve minutes away on foot from your front door.

Midnight in Manhattan

Recently refurbished to a high standard, this smart apartment boasts a fabulous location in New York's Upper East Side. Surrounded by a host of restaurants, bars, shops and delis, and just a ten-minute walk from Central Park, it's the perfect base for a break in NYC. Bright and modern, you'll find a stylish, open-plan space with comfortable furnishings, white walls and wood floors. A seating area with a bold yellow sofa makes for a cosy spot to watch TV in the evenings, while the bed and a desk are set alongside tall double windows. The kitchen is small but perfectly formed, with everything to knock up light meals at home, and there's a good size shower room for freshening up before an exciting evening out in the city.

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.

And, with a wealth of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, your NYC evenings can be just as magical as your days. 

Gossip Girl

On the edge of the Upper East Side, this duplex apartment puts you a ten-minute walk from Central Park. Grab a New York style bagel to get set for a day of excitement, then hire a bike to tour Central Park, before taking a break at one of the lakes. The classy neighbourhood is packed with fine dining options and trendy bars, not to mention the designer shops of Madison Avenue, an eight-minute stroll along the boulevards. Are you up for a good laugh? Make your way to a comedy club to catch a glimpse of New York's growing comedy scene.

The home itself is split over two floors and is bathed in pops of colour that liven up an otherwise pristine white interior – from royal blue at the marble-effect breakfast bar, lemon-yellow throws and pot plants in the bedrooms to bring nature to you while also providing an essence of comfort to sink into at the end of a busy day exploring the vast city.

Walk In The Park

Single-Level Home

Sample life on the Upper East Side at this pad between Lennox Hill and Central Park. Start your day with a run, or take a class at Equinox opposite your apartment, then return home for coffee on the communal rooftop terrace. You’ll need to climb some stairs to reach the apartment and rooftop, though the city views are worth it. The third bedroom has no natural light and will be shared by four guests at full occupancy, so it may be better suited to children or a group of six. From this central locale, you’ll find upscale boutiques, bookshops, galleries, museums and vibrant restaurants.

Life on Lennox

This cosy Upper East Side apartment is ideal for a couple or a business traveller visiting the city – and with a desk in the bedroom, remote working’s a breeze. It’s not the biggest space and the views aren’t the most inspiring, but this home is all about the location for us. Surrounded by some of New York’s finest eateries and shops, and with easy access to the subway to hop across the city, this is a great choice for those looking to stay in the heart of Manhattan.

New York's Got Style

Whether you're travelling for work, to catch up with family or simply to enjoy all the sights of New York City, this apartment is a great spot to call home. It's compact yet stylish, and the smart layout maximises the available space, giving you room to kick back and relax during your downtime. If you need to work remotely, then the elegant glass desk is ready and waiting – make sure to pour a cup of coffee from the machine in the kitchen when you need it. Grabbing a breath of fresh air is a delight, with Central Park's gates just a ten-minute stroll away, and culture fans will love exploring the galleries and museums on the Upper East Side's stretch of Fifth Avenue. And, with excellent public transport links, you can whizz over to Brooklyn or venture downtown with ease. 

A Weekend In The City

Just a stone’s throw from Central Park and a plethora of museums, eateries and shops, it’s easy to see why this NYC apartment caught our eye. Tailor-made for two, or a solo traveller, although space may be limited in this studio apartment, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. While there’s plenty within walking distance of this home, with the 4,5,6 & Q trains nearby, hopping across the city is a breeze when you want to explore further afield. 

Urban Joy

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

Recently remodelled, and therefore looking extra sleek, Penderyn is a refined studio on the Upper East Side, perfect for those looking for a comfortable base in a residential neighbourhood. Although it is definitely on the small side, even by New York standards, we would imagine guests staying here will spending their time out and about, exploring all this great city has to offer. After a long day of sightseeing, you’ll surely appreciate the clean and modern bathroom and the wonderfully comfortable bed. 

Penderyn

There’s a sense of calm that runs through this apartment. It all starts with its quiet Upper East Side location, continues in the understated design, and culminates in the sunny terrace. Of course, calm is a relative term in Manhattan, and almost any building will experience some traffic noise. However, there's something strangely relaxing about listening to the background hum of Manhattan as you swing gently in the breeze. And while there are more than a few steps to negotiate to reach the apartment, we're sure that you won't be disappointed when you reach the summit. Back down at street level, the immediate neighbourhood has a homey atmosphere thanks to its abundance of green spaces and attractive architecture. There are plenty of dining options, with a wide range of global cuisine reflecting the diverse neighbourhood. The rest of Manhattan is easily accessible in under half an hour, thanks to your proximity to 86th Street station – it's just a five-minute walk away.

Straight off the Vine

Considered one of New York's most exclusive areas, the Upper East Side is ripe with upscale boutiques, sophisticated eateries and quiet, tree-lined streets – and this pocket-sized apartment is in the thick of it all. Small but stylish, it's a cosy space to take a breather following a busy day out and about in the city. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it still has everything you need to whip up some light bites, while the comfortable living area is just the ticket when your feet are tired from the day's adventures. We love the bedroom, in particular – it's bright and inviting, and the desk is a chic place to work if you're in town for business. When you're ready to explore, set off towards Museum Mile and visit world-famous galleries like the Metropolitan Museum of Art (fifteen minutes away) and the Guggenheim (a twenty-minute walk), then stroll among the leafy paths in Central Park (also reachable in fifteen). Finish the evenings off with a glass of bubbly at the wine bar right down the street before returning home and climbing into the sumptuous bed. 

Van der Woodsen

Experience life on the Upper East Side at this duplex apartment a few blocks from Central Park. It's an ideal spot for remote workers with a laptop-friendly desk and families looking for a contemporary home base in the heart of Manhattan. While the space may have limited natural light and one bedroom is separated by a sliding door, we expect your time will be spent mostly outside, shopping along 5th Ave, dining on Lexington, and exploring art collections at Frick Madison.
