Description Rigoletto: New York

We particularly love this historic townhouse's location, slap bang in the middle of chic Manhattan. Marvel at the Empire State Building or catch a game at Madison Square Gardens – both under a ten-minute walk away. Or, browse Dover Street Market, a one minute saunter from here, for its cool clothing and gourmet café. That's breakfast and lunch covered – there are many fine dining options within walking distance for dinner too. If you don't fancy eating out or cooking in, it's just a two-minute walk to the local deli, so take some goodies back and enjoy in this home's giant back garden. Inside, this quirky and charming residence is packed with original features, making it a homely place to stay in the city that never sleeps. When you do need to get some shut-eye, though, the bedrooms are super cosy and brimming with character.

Home truths:
*Bedroom three has two single beds, which can also be made up into a King - just send your preference to your host upon booking
*This home sleeps up to ten in two apartments, but four guests would be on sofa beds in the living room which would compromise any social communal space – we think this home is best suited to six guests
