Located in Midtown, just three blocks away from the Empire State Building, this studio style apartment may not win any design prizes, but would make a perfectly pleasant base for guests wanting to stay in this part of town. The main room is lovely and light, and we particularly like the old wood floors too.

Home truths

    The apartment is on the 5th floor of this building - 64 steps up from the street

    There's only one proper bed so guest 3 will be on a single futon bed

    The bathroom feels dated and the grouting in the tiling could do with some love and affection
