This stylish, freshly renovated studio home is located in the very heart of the Upper East Side of the Big Apple. We love this super cool neighbourhood – it has everything you need right on your doorstep, including many restaurants, bars, shops and delis. It's only three blocks (a ten-minute stroll) from Central Park if you want to go boating on the lake. Or, for art and history lovers, the Museum Mile, with its Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and El Museo del Barrio, is a twenty-five minute walk away. Inside this apartment, light floods in from the two large windows. Take a seat on the plush blue sofa and plan your day or whip up a New York-style dinner of chicken and waffles in the kitchen. If you're here on business, there's a handy desk too to keep on top of work. This place is perfect if you want to live like a true New Yorker.
