Description Exposure Therapy: New York

Stunning architectural features, like the exposed brickwork and wooden beams, make this unusual two-bedroom 'bunk' apartment vibrant and unique. In trendy Greenpoint, every corner you take provides something new to be discovered. Whether it's the Polish bakery, the weekly market, or the best views of the iconic Manhattan skyline, the Greenpoint neighbourhood is certainly a hidden gem. Housed in a former cork factory, you can still see the bones of the industrial building inside. Boho touches like hand-woven rugs, a tree stump coffee table and hanging pot plants give the place a 21st-century update. One bed is tucked under the mezzanine, and the other sits under the exposed eaves above, embracing trendy loft living, New-York-style.

Home truths:
*Even though this home is a little further out, it takes less than thirty minutes (door to door) to get into Lower Manhattan
* The layout of this home is quite compact and the second bedroom is set out like a bunk bed, so this won't be for everyone
* The location of this apartment is a train ride from the nearest busy high street
* There are only stairs to reach this apartment so it won't be for those with accessibility issues
*Pets are welcome but with some restrictions on weight and breed, so check with the host beforehand
*Parking is available for free on the street
