Manhattan Bowler

Manhattan Bowler, Plum Guide home in New York

Manhattan Bowler, Plum Guide home in New York

Click to book Manhattan Bowler now: from £494 per night If you like being right in the thick of it, this no-nonsense studio in New York’s buzzing financial district could be the place for you. Whether you’re visiting the Big Apple for business or pleasure, sometimes you just need a base. And this fuss-free apartment with views of the city has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Inside, it's minimal but not without style — or a sense of fun. We love the retro banquette seating, the pops of candy colour and, of course, the Peloton bike in the lounge area — who wouldn’t want to get some pre-breakfast pedalling in, as the sun winks through the skyscrapers? Clever design means this open-plan apartment feels divided into distinct living spaces — including a dedicated work area — so you won’t feel on top of each other. Tucked amid the glittering high rises and signature cobbles of this historic neighbourhood — just moments from the New York Stock Exchange — you’ll be at the centre of the city’s beating heart. Tick off all the tourist must-sees (ferry to the Statue of Liberty anyone?) or make like a local and grab a coffee and a bite to eat in a sidewalk café before retreating to the calm of your city hideaway. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

The Pasture

The Pasture, Plum Guide home in New York

Click to book The Pasture now: from £250 per night This home is Plum, through and through. With a fantastic East Village locale, original architectural details highlighted by modern renovations, and a nit-picky eye for cleanliness, we're thoroughly impressed. It's a small space with sparse decor but that lends to its sense of charm. Cool and convenient, we don't think you'll be disappointed staying here. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Boxcar

Boxcar, Plum Guide home in New York

Click to book Boxcar now: from £440 per night Boxcar eschews the classic Brooklyn aesthetic, stumbling upon something warmer and more colourful in the process. The flat also has a private terrace, and even though the view isn’t one for the ages, the fresh air is a welcome addition. It’s actually part of a boutique hotel, so while it doesn’t feel like someone’s home, there are the services to make up for it – for example, a shuttle that’ll take you anywhere within a mile radius, for free. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Knick Knack

Knick Knack, Plum Guide home in New York

Click to book Knick Knack now: from £744 per night If you're looking for a convenient NYC apartment without the usual accompaniment of rambling tourists and rush-hour traffic then this is the spot for you. Despite being a little further out, you're only a twenty-five-minute metro ride from Lower Manhattan, whilst being situated just off the East River waterfront, boasting high-rise bars and green expanses overlooking views of Midtown. A wander around the immediate neighbourhood of Greenpoint will have you nestled in a community of creatives with vintage shops, indie coffee houses and new-school restaurants. Back inside, expect to find a modern and colourful space, benefitting from abstract art, wooden furnishings and plenty of natural light pouring in through the patio doors. Speaking of, we loved stepping out onto the private terrace area, complete with seating and expansive views over the skyscraper metropolis. We can think of nothing better than bookmarking the day out here with friends or family. If you have to work during your stay, the sunny nook is ideal for getting your head down while the dedicated office space in the living room is a bright and uplifting spot to tackle work together. With the added benefits of a hotel stay, you'll have fresh pastries & coffee available in the lobby every morning and a car service connecting you to the core of the Big Apple too. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Grazioso

Grazioso, Plum Guide home in New York

Click to book Grazioso now: from £297 per night If you’re a history buff, you’ll be glad to hear that amongst FiDi’s glossy skyscrapers sit some of the country’s most important historical sites. An eight-minute walk away, you'll find Fraunces Tavern, which is believed to be the oldest surviving building in Manhattan and has hosted many famous figures over the centuries, including none other than George Washington. Inside the home, you'll find a more modern living arrangement, equipped with comfortable beds and a plush sofa. There’s also an accessible kitchen and bathroom. In addition, the building has a fully equipped gym and a gorgeous rooftop terrace with striking skyline views. Finally, of course, you're ideally located to explore on foot. A five-minute stroll will have you sampling the gourmet delights of South Street Seaport or dodging power-suited traders on Wall St. Walk a little further, and you'll be staring up at Freedom Tower or out across the Hudson from The Battery, ten minutes away. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
