Description Chandelier Life: New York

When exposed brick and chandeliers combine, you know you're in for a treat. This vibrant, cosy apartment is filled with colourful art and unique touches like a skylight in the shower and a cute little garden area outside. It’s a small home, but it has everything you need for a convenient stay in New York. The kitchen's well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and the open-plan layout is perfect for a chill night in with Netflix and wine. Location is really the biggest perk here: sandwiched between Soho and the West Village, you're right in the heart of all the downtown action. Whether you're a culture vulture keen on gallery hopping and ducking into jazz bars, or a fashionista ready to do some damage in one of the world's best neighbourhoods for shopping, you'll be in the thick of it all – plus the dining and nightlife options are some of the best the city has to offer.

Home truths:
*This is a small home, and the bedrooms are especially snug
*There's a sofa bed in the living room that sleeps two additional guests, but the home can feel cramped with more than four people
*This is a first-floor walk-up apartment with no elevator
