If you're looking for a convenient NYC apartment without the usual accompaniment of rambling tourists and rush-hour traffic then this is the spot for you. Despite being a little further out, you're only a twenty-five-minute metro ride from Lower Manhattan, whilst being situated just off the East River waterfront, boasting high-rise bars and green expanses overlooking views of Midtown. A wander around the immediate neighbourhood of Greenpoint will have you nestled in a community of creatives with vintage shops, indie coffee houses and new-school restaurants. Back inside, expect to find a modern and colourful space, benefitting from abstract art, wooden furnishings and plenty of natural light pouring in through the patio doors. Speaking of, we loved stepping out onto the private terrace area, complete with seating and expansive views over the skyscraper metropolis. We can think of nothing better than bookmarking the day out here with friends or family. If you have to work during your stay, the sunny nook is ideal for getting your head down while the dedicated office space in the living room is a bright and uplifting spot to tackle work together. With the added benefits of a hotel stay, you'll have fresh pastries & coffee... available in the lobby every morning and a car service connecting you to the core of the Big Apple too.
