Description Upper East Side Reverie: New York

At this New York apartment, the cosy living room is exactly the kind of place you'll want to return to after a long day of exploring. It's not the biggest, but that's to be expected in the Big Apple – and it has all you need to settle in. The galley-style kitchen is set up for home cooking, though you'll also find plenty of excellent restaurants nearby if you'd rather dine out. From here, Manhattan's greatest hits are within easy reach. Lose an afternoon in Central Park, marvel at the art in the Met, or jump on the subway to discover the city with ease.

Home truths:
* Parking in Manhattan can be both tricky and expensive, so we recommend using the subway or other public transport to get around during your stay.
* While we love the design of this home, there isn't a lot of natural light.
* New York City's heating season lasts until the end of May. Beginning around mid-April, your host will install a window air conditioning unit in the apartment. Please let them know if you'd like one earlier.
