Popeye & Olive
Popeye & Olive, Plum Guide home in New York
Click to book Popeye & Olive now: from £435 per night If when you hear the words 'Financial District' you instantly picture angry men in pinstripe suits shouting down their telephones to be put through to Tokyo, we're happy to tell you that it's not quite like that. With the development of nearby Seaport, Stone Street and Battery Park, FiDi has evolved in recent years from a corporate hub to become a rather pleasant place to spend some time within. Located between Wall Street and Fulton Street, this apartment is a modern base from which to explore this area and beyond. Although we can't imagine you'll be spending much time in the bright living space when there's one of the greatest cities in the world outside your door, the building's shared facilities do their best to keep you there for a bit longer. An onsite gym will be greeted with open arms by fitness bunnies, while the rooftop deck is a lovely place to catch some rays or exchange stories about your time in the Big Apple with the neighbours. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Seasons in the City
Seasons in the City, Plum Guide home in New York
Click to book Seasons in the City now: from £418 per night This pristine, stylish flat entices you in with abstract art and mid-century style furniture, and before you know it, you've made it your home-from-home. The small but well-equipped kitchen makes knocking up a delicious meal a breeze, while the inviting sofa is a great place to kick back at the end of a long day. With a prime location in Battery Park, you're perfectly positioned to explore nearby attractions such as the Statue of Liberty or the Brooklyn Bridge at your leisure. In the evening, strike out into the Manhattan night to sink a drink or two in sawdust-covered dive bars or frequent glamorous late-night parties. If you're here for work rather than pleasure, or a bit of both, then make use of the in-building business centre, co-working space and lounge with its super-fast wi-fi. To get a total sense of place, take to the roof terrace to soak up some sun on the loungers, take a dip in the rooftop pool or sip a coffee at the numerous tables and absorb the dramatic sights and atmospheric sounds of a truly cosmopolitan city. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Talkin' New York
Talkin' New York, Plum Guide home in New York
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
Be A Part Of It
Be A Part Of It, Plum Guide home in New York
Click to book Be A Part Of It now: from £309 per night If like Ol' Blue Eyes you've ever wanted to wake up in the city that never sleeps, this apartment can bring that fantasy to life. Every day, you'll greet the morning with a view of bustling Lower Manhattan and you're perfectly placed to explore all the city has to offer. The Battery, a small pocket of green on the tip of the island, is a bagel's throw away and offers fabulous views over the Hudson. Brooklyn Bridge can be reached on foot in around twenty minutes, although there are plenty of subway stations nearby if you don't fancy doing the full walking tour of the Big Apple. Back at your temporary home, there's a fully-equipped kitchen for whipping up a hearty breakfast ahead of a day's adventuring, while there's even a business centre in the building if work emails can't be avoided for the duration of your stay. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
