Whether you're in Manhattan for business or pleasure, this apartment is a fuss-free spot to rest your head. It's perched in bustling Midtown East, just a few blocks from the East River and walking distance from landmarks like Rockefeller Center and the MoMA. The apartment itself isn't wow-worthy, but it's stylish enough and the kitchen is well-equipped for an NYC pad. Be sure to take advantage of on-site amenities, ranging from a shared library and rooftop terrace to a communal fitness centre and playroom for little ones. There's even rare on-site parking, but you’ll need to pay to use it.

Home truths:
*Part of a residential building, amenities like the gym, rooftop terrace, library, playroom and more are shared with other guests *This is a central apartment, so noise is to be expected *There isn't a desk here, but the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace *You won't need a car in NYC – we think the best way to explore is on foot or via the subway, although on-site bike storage is possible if you want to cycle
