Click to book Taking Stock now: from £288 per night Whether you're in town for business or pleasure, this light and bright studio apartment is the perfect base for exploring New York City. Simply styled with plush, neutral-coloured furniture, hardwood floors and glossy marble countertops, the vibe here is minimal and chic. The smart layout makes the apartment feel roomy and open – there's even a desk for those days when you want to work from home. Outside, the buzzing Financial District, home to the New York Stock Exchange, is all yours to explore. Stroll down to The Battery and catch a ferry to the Statue of Liberty (or just admire the views from the waterfront park), grab dinner at one of the area's gourmet restaurants, dip into a dive bar on Stone Street or pay your respects at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, all just a short stroll away. With Fulton Street station only a few metres away, getting around the city is a breeze. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Talkin' New York now: from £184 per night Stylish, inviting and ideally located near The Battery, this New York City studio is as hip as they come. The bright white walls are the perfect canvas for playful pops of colour – we love the orange chairs and gold accents that give the home a playful character – and it’s got everything you need to feel right at home. This includes a snazzy kitchenette for whipping up meals when you’re not out sampling the city’s world-famous dining scene. Your building’s amenities are pretty impressive too. There’s a generously sized outdoor pool, sundeck with arresting city views and a sleek co-working space – perfect if you’re visiting on business. When you’re ready to head out and explore, you’re a two-minute mosey from Bowling Green Subway Station connecting you to the heart of the Big Apple where world-class eateries, shops and watering holes await. Should you want to stay local or have a quiet afternoon away from the hubbub, The Battery's leafy green –with its iconic vistas of the Statue of Liberty – is just a two-minute walk across the street. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book An Eternity With Ellis now: from £595 per night There won’t be any arguing over who gets which bedroom in this home — both sleeping spaces feature a luxurious king-sized bed, modern graphic prints, and a massive window so you can greet each morning with a view of New York. This home, located at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, showcases a softer side to the city, with a short stroll taking you to Battery Park, where you can stop for an ice cream cone or an iced coffee as you wander along the riverfront and point out landmarks. There’s a host of great local restaurants, bars and museums in the area too, and with a number of Metro stations within a five-minute walk, you’ll have no trouble branching out and exploring the rest of the city, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got somewhere utterly lovely to return to at the end of the day. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Click to book No Wolves Here now: from £498 per night This home is all New York sophistication — tall ceilings, polished wooden floors and fashion-forward furniture working together to create an aura of understated chic in which you’ll feel right at home. Find a cocoon of calm in one of the two cosy bedrooms sitting off the airy, open-plan living space, or head to the rooftop to enjoy the peace and views high above the city bustle. The apartment is conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, steps away from the finance frenzy of Wall Street, moments from the Brooklyn Bridge and right on top of more bars and restaurants than you could ever hope to visit in one trip. Of course, you don’t need to leave the home to have fun — as well as your own private space and the rooftop, there’s also a fully equipped gym and a huge communal lounge available with a pool table and comfy armchairs for you to relax in style. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Froth & Foam now: from £337 per night If you ask us, the best way to see New York City is on foot, and there’s no better starting point for long, rambling walks through the city than this home. Whether you’re strolling up to Tribeca, heading to Chinatown, or crossing the bridge to Brooklyn, this home makes the perfect base. The location isn’t the only selling point of this home either. The charming candy-pink puffy seating draws inspiration from a 1950s diner – you almost expect a waitress on roller skates to whip past with a milkshake – and the plant wall adds a welcome touch of greenery to the minimalist space. Though the space is cosy, there’s more than enough room for two to spread out on the sofa, set up at the workspace, and enjoy a good night’s sleep in the king-sized bed before getting up to do it all again tomorrow. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
