New York's Midtown is a bustling kaleidoscope of sights and sounds, but this apartment is a peaceful haven where you can truly relax between adventures. Step through the front door, and you'll find pristine parquet flooring, chic furnishings and the occasional colourful artwork perfectly placed on the white walls. There's plenty to get excited about – think intimate dinners at the elegant table and invigorating workouts at the on-site gym – but the best part has to be the incredible balcony. This private space gives you a bird's eye view of the city, and is just as impressive at sunrise as it is when night falls. We don't blame you if you can't tear yourself away from these vistas, but sightseers are in for a treat – Central Park, Broadway and Times Square are all within a ten-minute walk. And, if you're travelling for business, you can arrive at the financial district in less than half an hour using the excellent public transport services.
