Description Braeburn: New York

Just a two-minute walk from the most visited tourist attraction in the world, Times Square, an eight-minute stroll to the Top of the Rock for incredible skyline views over NYC and a five-minute cab ride from the Empire State Building – this apartment is for the bucket list tickers. With so much to see and do here, that long tourist itinerary is going to have you wishing for a relaxing spot to crawl back to. Fortunately, we've found just the home. This cosy apartment benefits from stylish furnishings, neutral cream tones and plenty of natural light that creates a calming presence in the middle of this larger-than-life city. There's also the added benefit of your own balcony offering dramatic skyscraper views. Plus, you'll have access to the building's gym and lap pool – perfect for burning off last night's over-indulging cheesecake. As evening draws in, catch a musical on Broadway or explore a variety of restaurants and bars in the lively Hell's Kitchen neighbourhood, right on your doorstep.
