Description Westside Wander: New York

Sitting between Riverside Park and Central Park on the Upper West Side, this apartment puts two of New York’s green escapes within easy reach – Central Park is a ten-minute walk, with Strawberry Fields and Columbus Circle not far beyond. The building handles itself well, too. A 24-hour doorman, an on-site gym, and an express subway station just one block away mean the rest of the city is never far. Back inside, hardwood floors and stylish touches make the apartment a calm place to return to after a long day out. There’s even a desk if you’re in town on business – perfect for a solo traveller or couple.

Home truths:
* You'll have access to the on-site gym and laundry room here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* Air conditioning is window-unit based here and is typically installed from around mid-April. If you're visiting before then and want cooling in place, you can request an earlier installation from your host.
* While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find communal washing machines and dryers within the building.
