Set in a beautifully renovated historic building, this cosy apartment has been decorated by the host with their own artwork and various vintage objects that have been collected during trips around the world. A perfect base for a city break with your friends or little ones, this funky apartment offers all essential modern conveniences. Even though you’re in the heart of the city that never sleeps, you’ll enjoy peace and quiet thanks to the triple glazing. On top of that, you have access to a cosy private garden where you can kick off your morning with a cup of coffee amongst the greenery. Prep some burgers on the grill to enjoy at the end of the day. Don’t worry if cooking isn’t your thing – you’re in the heart of SoHo where there are restaurants, bars and cafes on every corner. Fashion capital of NYC, you also have an unlimited choice of boutiques to explore. Best of all, your host, who lives in the same building, is always happy to recommend the best places to eat, the best shows to see and anything else in-between. You'll feel like a local in no time.
