Description Sea of Circles: New York

You only have to look at a map of Manhattan to see how this apartment sits right in the middle of the action — both The High Line and Hudson Yards can be reached in ten minutes on foot, while if you walk fifteen minutes down the street, you'll eventually reach the Empire State Building. Not bad, right? If you're in New York to see all the sights, this home could be just the ticket. Exposed brick walls and street-art inspired pieces hanging on the wall feel like nods to the city's heritage, while there's also a modern kitchen finished in sleek black in case you fancy a night off from restaurant-hopping. The cherry on the cake is the building's roof terrace, which offers photo opportunities and a chance to gaze out over one of — if not the — most famous skylines in the world.

Home truths:
*This is a second-floor walk-up in a building with no elevator, so it might not be suitable for guests with limited mobility
*This Midtown location is very close to the entrance of Lincoln Tunnel, as well as in the middle of the high traffic routes leading to the tunnel, so guests might be able to hear and see lots of traffic
*Small children are not allowed to stay at this property
