Sitting in the heart of the Upper East Side, this apartment puts two of New York's great cultural draws – the Met and the Guggenheim – within walking distance. Central Park's 843 acres are eighteen minutes away on foot too, making it a natural base for both culture and the outdoors. Back inside, treetop views from the main bedroom give the apartment a calm that belies its central address, and the in-unit washer and dryer make it a practical choice for longer stays.

Street parking is available nearby, but it's a mix of free and paid spots – we recommend getting around on foot or by subway where possible, as parking in Manhattan can be unpredictable.
