WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, Midtown Manhattan

It’s impossible not to be blown away by the amount of space on offer at this FiDi loft – at nearly 1,000 square feet, it’s downright huge for two people, so there’s more than enough room to make yourself at home. Secondly, the kitchen is the stuff of dreams – not only is there an island that can comfortably fit ten people, but it has everything you’ll need to rustle up mouthwatering meals.


EAST RIVER STORY, Queens

This minimalist studio-style offering in Long Island City is a perfect base for those visiting the Big Apple on business or for a couple on a romantic trip.

Located in the Chelsea district of NYC, sitting on your private rooftop terrace, overlooking the concrete skyline, is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that stays with you forever at this great New York spot. The magical experience can be relived over and over again, all in a beautiful outdoor space that’s reserved just for you.


FACTORY RESET, Brooklyn

In a previous life, this hundred-year-old building was one of the many factories found across Brooklyn – but it’s now home to some seriously cool apartments. This two-bedroom property still keeps several features that echo its past, such as the wooden ceiling beams and exposed brick walls. However, there are also plenty of modern comforts to keep you feeling fine during your trip to New York, from the sleek kitchen to the polished wooden floors.



NEW YORK STATE OF MIND, Williamsburg


This awesome loft-style apartment in the heart of Williamsburg has New York cool written all over it. Dark wood floors, a moody colour palette in the kitchen and metro tiles combine with tropical prints and modern art to create a look that’s funky yet grown-up. The real wow factor here is the vast crittall-style window that floods the apartment with light and gives it a sense of space that’s hard to find in NYC. You’re conveniently close to the pulsing energy of the city centre (five minutes from the subway and NYC Ferry) but with Williamsburg’s relaxed cafes, bars and shops on your doorstep. Win, win.
