Here is our pick of the top 5 vacation rentals. Make your choice and treat yourself to a luxury stay.

Click to book Miss Sophistication now: from £169 per night Sitting in a beautiful brownstone, this Clinton Hill apartment is a sophisticated home in a cultural part of Brooklyn. It's in good shape with large windows welcoming lots of light and an open-concept kitchen perfect for socialising and cooking simultaneously. It's not the most luxurious home on our books, but comfortable and inviting for mature couples or a group of friends. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Hollenback's Stable now: from £450 per night With Plum headquarters in London, we have a soft spot for historic homes and repurposed beauty. This Brooklyn Carriage house, built in 1849 and used as a stable for the mansion next door, gives us all the feels by maintaining and styling around original features such as the exposed pine beams and brick walls. French limestone countertops, Balinese antiques, antique panelled doors, and Urban Archeology cargo lights perfectly meld old-world charm and modern flair. And with two teak decks, lovingly built around 200-year old cherry trees, we're tempted to book this home for ourselves. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book The Unlikely Friend now: from £225 per night Set in a traditional Brooklyn brownstone, The Unlikely Friend is a recently remodelled, ground floor home with a unique balance of modern luxuries, traditional architectural features and unique artwork. Your hosts are not only talented artists themselves, they're also a delight to stay with, making sure you have everything you need for a relaxing trip. The nearest subway station is a two-minute walk away, but even better is the well-kept garden in the back, ideal for long summer days. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Moonflowers now: from £250 per night What once was a day centre for children has been lovingly renovated into a cosy and contemporary apartment. Situated on a quintessential Brownstone block with young families and pups walking the streets, not only does this Park Slope home feel residential and homey, it's nearby some great restaurants and shopping. And our favourite part is the large garden out back – the perfect spot to enjoy a snack or glass of wine after your days out. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Apple Jam now: from £344 per night Whether you’re visiting the Big Apple for a quick break or an extended holiday, this studio apartment in the Financial District offers you a great base to make the most of your stay. When you’re not out seeing the sights, there are plenty of onsite facilities to keep you entertained. You might be playing pool in the communal lounge, working up a sweat in the gym or lazing on one of the rooftop sunbeds (open seasonally). There are plenty of bars, restaurants and coffee shops just a short stroll away, or set the scene with some background music on the record player and rustle up something tasty in the kitchen. This kitchen table could also double as a desk if you’re using the home as your office - remote working is easy thanks to the superfast wi-fi. Quiet nights in are best spent soaking in the bathtub or curled up on the sofa streaming a film on the TV. And if you're at a loose end? Well, then the city that never sleeps is always ready for you. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
