Description New York Hideaway: New York

If location is top of your NYC wish list, then this Upper East Side apartment could be a serious contender. Known for its tree-lined streets and elegant brownstones, the neighbourhood boasts an array of shops, bars, and restaurants. And culture vultures will love having some of the city’s best-loved museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, nearby. Though compact, the home itself has everything a couple or solo traveller will need for a comfortable stay. And while you might find the kitchenette a bit small for preparing anything other than snacks and light bites, it gives you the perfect excuse to try out some of the eateries on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling for work, you’ll find a laptop-friendly workspace in the bedroom.
*The double bed is pushed against a wall, so can only be accessed from one side.
*While the kitchenette is well equipped, it is small – we think it's better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Although there is a skylight, this home is lacking in natural light in the living area. The bathroom doesn't have a window.
*Parking in New York can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
