This swish apartment is right on the Upper East Side, one of NYC's most desirable neighbourhoods. It's a great place to rest and relax during your adventures in the city that never sleeps – think chic parquet flooring, squashy white sofas and decadent rugs that invite you to chill out in style. You can hit the building's shared gym for a workout, unwind by cooking a delicious meal to share with your loved ones, or simply watch the busy New York street scene from one of the many windows. Culture vultures will be delighted to discover that Museum Mile is just seven minutes away, with its world-famous collections of art and historical artefacts. If you're craving some green space then the gates of Central Park are a ten-minute stroll away, but if shopping is more your thing then nearby Madison Avenue's boutiques will not disappoint. And there's plenty more fun to be had when the sun goes down – with a plethora of eateries and bars on your doorstep, you're spoilt for choice.
