The Funky Box Brooklyn, New York

Property Description

Whether you're in the city on business or ticking the Big Apple off your bucket list, this modern apartment blends hotel perks with the privacy and personality of a NYC rental to make for a convenient home away from home. Despite being a little further out, you're right along from the East River waterfront, boasting high-rise bars, leafy green expanses and a host of restaurants (a five-minute walk away). On top of this, it's only a twenty-three-minute metro ride from bustling Midtown Manhattan and a thirty-minute journey to the Empire State Building. With so much to see and do around here, and yet without the usual accompaniment of rush hour taxis and clamouring tourists around you, we really love this Greenpoint location. Inside, the bright and colourful apartment features a bespoke interior design and the unique architecture of an old factory building. This particular home provides the quintessential lofted New York-style bedroom that makes for a cosy spot to snuggle down after an afternoon spent sightseeing. Come evening, ask the hotel concierge service downstairs to point you out a couple of great eateries, before exploring Greenpoint by night – it's a friendly, artsy neighbourhood – perfect for those post-dinner strolls.
