If you're looking to discover New York's most beloved sights, then this bright and playful home, only a sixteen-minute wander from the Empire State Building, will be right up your alley. Follow the flocks of excited tourists and whizzing yellow cabs all the way to neon-lit Times Square, only a fifteen-minute walk from your door, and after taking in the striking billboards, seeing a famous musical, going shopping and soaking up the unique feel of the world's most visited attraction, ascend to the Top of the Rock for skyline views over NYC – under a ten-minute cab ride from your cosy apartment. Back inside, we really loved the exposed red brick that makes the home feel like a quintessential brownstone found in the Upper West Side. Stepping in to look around, you'll notice an individual colour scheme for each bedroom, tasteful artwork and elegant ghost chairs around a sleek white dining table. Everything you need for a sweet bite of the Big Apple.
