Acid Wash: New York

It may be small in size, but this Upper East Side apartment is a true gem. You'll love putting your feet up and relaxing in this chic space after a busy day at work or play – and it's been recently refurbished to an impeccable standard. It makes excellent use of all the space on offer – not many studios can offer a breakfast nook, stylish sofa and a desk for working remotely. Outside on the Upper East Side, you'll find all the delights of this desirable neighbourhood are right at your fingertips. A ten-minute stroll will take you to the gates of Central Park, where you can immerse yourself in the greenery, and the plethora of eateries on the way there mean that you'll never go hungry. There are also plenty of opportunities for some serious retail therapy at nearby Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques and, thanks to the excellent public transport links, those travelling on business can arrive downtown in just half an hour.
