Wildflower is the product of a charming host, who has poured her heart and soul into creating a friendly and welcoming home. The décor is by no means posh, and some may even find it a bit cluttered, but it’s got plenty of character. We love the number of plants, pops of colour, cosy blankets and all things that make a home a home. Best of all, the private roof terrace boasts spectacular views of New York City’s skyline, with views of the Empire State Building, the East River Bridges, and even the One World Trade Centre.

Home truths:
*This home is on the sixth floor, and guests will have to climb eighty-five steps to reach the front door
*Three lovable dogs call this place home, and even though the host is obsessively clean, those with allergies should make note
*If arranged in advance, the host will allow an extra family member to sleep on the sofa
*The bed is a US queen
*The kitchen is very small and there is no dining table
