This cosy home is located in the heart of the Upper West Side, just a short walk from Central Park and the Hudson River. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited here, but the location and on-site amenities – which include a gym – more than make up for the smaller space. We think the kitchenette is best suited to light bites, as with no oven, you won’t be able to create grand culinary creations – but with an abundance of New York restaurants on your doorstep, dining out is a must.

Immerse yourself in the excitement of Manhattan from this sleek apartment on the Upper West Side. You'll find Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and Broadway within easy walking distance. Inside, it's a modern space with laptop-friendly desk space, making it suitable for longer business trips (though street noise should be expected). The kitchenette is very small, so we recommend eating out. You'll be able to check yourself in, bring along a furry friend, and work out in the shared gym. But the best part about this pad is the little balcony, offering a private spot for you to soak up the big city buzz. 

Manhattan Medley

Located on the Upper West Side, this sleek apartment is a great fit for those travelling on business or looking to visit NYC's countless sights. Just a short walk from Central Park, this spot also offers a welcomed break from the city buzz. At home, you'll find everything needed for a comfortable long-term stay, including a study desk area and a kitchenette – though we think this is best suited to prepping light bites. There's also a single sofa bed here, however, space is limited so we recommend the home for a maximum of two people. 

A Gentle Touch

Nestled in the heart of the Upper West Side, this contemporary apartment is an ideal base whether you’re in the city on business or pleasure. The desk in the main bedroom makes remote working a breeze, while the on-site gym ensures you never need to miss a workout. Sure, the kitchen’s a bit of a squeeze, but it’s equipped with everything needed to rustle up home-cooked meals. That said, with a plethora of eateries on your doorstep and the nearby subway making it easy to hop across the city, dining out is always an option.

Timberlake is a comfortable, no-fuss home in a convenient location, though it's not the most inspiring in terms of design. The Upper West Side is a pleasant, friendly environment with access to two great parks and lots of restaurants. We really liked the home’s positioning on the corner of the building, meaning it gets lots of natural light. You can also enjoy the building’s lounge, roof terrace and gym facilities.

Situated on the 17th floor of an elevator building with a 24-hour doorman – here's a quiet space in the Upper West Side. While the modern and minimal furnishings offer comfort and practicality within this NYC apartment, it's the in-house amenities such as the resident's lounge, gym, children's playroom, 24-hour attended garage and rooftop terrace that make the home stand out from the rest. Offering breathtaking views over the city, the landscaped rooftop sun terrace boasts barbecue grills for sunny and sociable evenings shared with friends. At home, you'll be able to get a bit of peace and quiet in the surprisingly tranquil setting with views out onto the NYC architecture across the street. When you are ready to venture away from the serenity of your humble home – you'll be within walking distance from the surrounding coffee shops, restaurants, shopping districts and museums of the Upper West Side and conveniently just 400 metres away from leafy Central Park. 

Blue Water Lily

Tucked away in Manhattan's Upper West Side, this studio apartment makes a cosy home base for couples, solo adventurers, and professionals. We love the location, with Riverside Park and the Hudson River just steps away. The iconic Central Park is easily walkable, and nearby bus and underground stations place NYC's shops and restaurants at your fingertips. Furry friends are welcome to join you here for a fee, and the building offers pet bathing facilities as well as a communal gym for getting in that daily workout, adding extra practicality to your stay.

The Miniature Mint

Swimming Pool

Situated in NYC's affluent Upper West Side – known for its stately brownstones, museums and world-famous park – this modern apartment is perfectly set up for a solo traveller or couple looking to explore the Big Apple. 

Inside, it's a perfectly practical pad with an open-plan living space that allows you to glide seamlessly across the polished wooden floor between the kitchen and seating area. Natural light pours in throughout the day, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows framing the urban metropolis on your doorstep. 

When you're not hanging out at home, make the most of your building’s fabulous amenities. Head to the shared gym, swimming pool or business centre – you've got plenty to keep you busy here. Although with so much to see and do nearby, we recommend you go out and explore the city from this desired location. You're a five-minute walk from Central Park, a twenty-minute stroll from the American Museum of Natural History, while bustling Times Square is just eighteen minutes away on the subway.

The Joan of Arch is a truly unique and charismatic home. Built in 1900, this property is serving us some of the best architectural features we’ve seen – a series of six original brick arches that enchant the downstairs communal area. We love that this is a family-friendly home, with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and living area all in one open space, so that everyone can spend time together. The cherry on top is the private garden and fireplace, so guests can enjoy the long summer nights… or winter nights, if you’re into that. 

Joan of Arch

This UWS studio apartment is your escape in the bustling city of Manhattan. Featuring a plethora of thoughtful amenities and superior personal services, you’ll feel pampered and well taken care of. Plus, there’s a children’s playroom, landscaped rooftop sun terrace with BBQ grills and stunning views, entertainment lounge and state-of-the-art health and fitness centre all at your disposal during your stay. Just bear in mind, this one's not a lived in home, so feels more corporate than homey.


The Glow Lamp

Enjoy the amenities that this fully serviced building offers, like the roof deck, the gym, the communal laundry facilities, as well as the lounge. Although we think that the design is pretty lacklustre, Infrared presents a comfortable home in a great location. Situated in the heart of the Upper West Side, you’ll be near two large parks, Riverside Park to the west and Central Park to the east. The nearest subway station is a mere six-minute walk away, however, this is a residential neighbourhood, so if you’re looking to be in the thick of it, we recommend looking elsewhere.

Red Tomato is a modern, full service building perfectly acceptable for a couple of guests. With a gym, lounge, laundry room and roof terrace, you'll have everything you may need during your stay. Though the design is a bit dated, you'll be situated in the Upper West Side and be able to soak up spectacular views from the roof - a real treat after a day out exploring.

Welcome Hamper

Banana print wallpaper & a huge flower motif makes this Upper West Side apartment perfect for the whimsical ones. It's got all the excitement of a wrapped present with surprises in every corner. The best of which is the huge private garden out back – a rarity in this city. It's a pre-war townhouse, so shows some signs of age, but that's what also gives it all its charm. 

It Was All A Dream

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.

Eastside Elegance

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. Even better, you'll find some of NYC's best restaurants right on your doorstep, so you're never far from whatever you're craving. Central Park is less than twenty minutes away on foot, while nearby subway stations can help you traverse the city with ease.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get privacy in New York City, we’ve found the answer for you – fifty-two floors off the ground! And that’s exactly what you’ll get at Belle Vue. With floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping city views, this glossy home matches its slick cityscape. While the surrounding skyscrapers make for incredible impressions, the downside is that this area is mainly commercial and therefore not the most vibrant neighbourhood. If you’re okay with that, however, you’ll love that the building grants guests access to the private gym and pool.

Whether you're in Manhattan for business or pleasure, this apartment is a fuss-free spot to rest your head. It's perched in bustling Midtown East, just a few blocks from the East River and walking distance from landmarks like Rockefeller Center and the MoMA. The apartment itself isn't wow-worthy, but it's stylish enough and the kitchen is well-equipped for an NYC pad. Be sure to take advantage of on-site amenities, ranging from a shared library and rooftop terrace to a communal fitness centre and playroom for little ones. There's even rare on-site parking, but you’ll need to pay to use it.

Starlight Sky

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.

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.

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

Desk / Workplace

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

Balcony / Patio

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.

Honey Mustard

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. 

Upper East Side Essence

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

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

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

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.”

The Dame

Mini Bar

Set in a stunning townhouse, this Upper East Side apartment is elegant and bright, featuring its very own landscaped garden. Fitting in with its glamorous neighbours, The Conga shows off bold artwork and high quality furnishings throughout. And with Central Park and Madison Avenue just moments away, you'll never tire of things to do.



The Conga

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

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

Parking On Street

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.

Upper East Side

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.

The Leading Edge

Single-Level Home

We don’t know where to start first with this stylish apartment – its incredible location or its spectacular views. Let’s begin with the fact it’s just two blocks from Central Park – go boating on the lake or take a leisurely stroll. If you’re after more action, Times Square is under a ten-minute saunter, while it’s the same distance to the Museum of Modern Art with its extraordinary exhibitions. One of New York’s most iconic landmarks, on the other hand, the Empire State Building, is under half an hour on foot. See, we said it had a fabulous setting. If you’re looking for amazing vistas, this home also delivers. Relax with a beer on the balcony surrounded by the glimmering glass of the city’s skyscrapers, or relax in the light-filled interiors. This place is perfect for a group of friends or family wanting to entertain in style.

Castles In The Sky

This fairly small and charming home gets a lot of natural light; the closeness to the river also makes the home feel peaceful, which is quite rare for homes in this spot. It is found in a traditional, hundred-year-old apartment building with a welcoming tiled lobby. The quaint bedroom design feels particularly inviting and it has lots of storage space. Although the location is not the most convenient, if you are happy with a ten-minute walk to the Subway, you will benefit from a home in a very quiet and private area.

Underfloor Heating

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

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

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

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

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.
