Description The Lion's Den: New York

Clean and modest – the design in this apartment won’t blow you away, but it’s got everything you need. From the large windows, you have a fantastic view of the East River and some of New York’s infamous high rises. The building itself offers a roof terrace and a fitness centre, which are available to guests. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll want to spend most of your time out and about anyway.

Home truths:
*The bathroom needs to be updated with new caulking and grout
*The air vents are very dusty and need to be cleaned
*It’s a ten-minute walk to the nearest subway station, so be prepared to walk
*The second bedroom is only a queen-sized bed
*Enthusiastic chefs be warned - you won’t want to cook a grand meal in this kitchen
