First-time visitors to The Big Apple can't go wrong with this sleek studio apartment. Not only is it smartly laid out to maximise the space, but it's stylish, too – characterful artwork hangs in the living area, subway tiles line the kitchen walls and trendy exposed shelves show off the crockery. Your hosts go above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent stay, providing toiletries, welcome chocolates and even earplugs for a restful night's sleep. Pull up a stool and enjoy breakfasts around the kitchen island, sink into the leather sofa for a movie night and drift off in the comfortable bed after a busy day exploring. Speaking of, this apartment is located where Chelsea, Midtown and Hudson Yards all meet. While it's not the liveliest part of town, everything you'll want or need is within walking distance, be it the global eateries and food stalls in Chelsea Market – fifteen minutes away – or the bright lights of Times Square – twenty minutes on foot. Plus, you're just one block from the famous High Line and two blocks from Penn Station, where you can catch the subway and zip around the rest of New York City in no... time.
