True to some conceptions of a Brooklynite, this home reveals an inside look at the life of a travelling musician. Hung on the walls are several string instruments and bookshelves are filled with records – passions that will undoubtedly inspire any passer-by. Select a soundtrack and set it to play on the record player, while you pour yourself a glass of wine. It's relaxing moments like these, that offer respite from the buzz of New York City living. Soak in the bright ambience of the bedroom boasting leafy plants and relaxing, earthy hues. The home's fabulous, bohemian styling can be credited to actress Annie McCain Engman who designed the space to accentuate its classic NYC style aesthetic in a creative and laid-back manner. Feel at home when getting down to some work from the window-side office area, or better still, why not turn on the projector and watch a movie on the big screen? With so much to see and do in the happening district of Williamsburg Brooklyn (think artsy coffee shops, trendy galleries and atmospheric bars and eateries) – you'll no doubt treat this home as a base for exploring the city more than anything.

Even though this home is a little further out, it takes less than ten minutes (door to door) to get into Lower Manhattan

Your host asks that you come and go as if you're friends or family, and therefore keeping noise to a minimum in respect of the neighbours
While guests have private access to the entire third floor, the first-floor door is currently the only one that locks with a key – meaning you can only lock the door from the inside the apartment – rest assured the residence is a familial building of only four apartments home to a group of friends
There's a dedicated office here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
