Description Editorial Spread: New York

Quirky details, like the exposed brick wall and fashion photography prints, inject character into this otherwise minimal home. The bedrooms are on the small side, but the beds are seriously comfortable, with a TV in both. It feels a bit compact, especially with the narrow shape of the kitchen and the dining table taking up most of the communal space. Nonetheless, the location in Nolita makes up for this – surrounded by little shops and cool restaurants, you won’t be spending much time cooking anyway.

Home truths:
* This home is on the small side for four guests, and the kitchen is pretty narrow
* The sofa could do with some TLC – we noticed a few marks on it
* Be prepared to climb the stairs up to this second-floor home with no lift
* We’re not keen on the uncovered cables in the bedrooms – they’re a bit of an eyesore
