Blue Garland

Blue Garland: New York

This one bedroom apartment is located in the heart of Midtown, just a short walk away from Times Square, Broadway, the MoMA, and countless other tourist landmarks. This means it's not the most peaceful neighbourhood but it's definitely a good central neighbourhood from which you can easily explore the best of the city. Though not the most characterful apartment we've ever seen, it's got lots of windows, good (even if not hugely expansive) views and a super comfy bed and sofa too.

Home truths:
* There's only one proper bedroom, so guests three and four will sleep on a sofa-bed in the living room

* The design is not the most characterful we've ever seen

* We're not huge fans of the dining room chairs

* The location near Times Square might feel a bit hectic to some

* The kitchen is a tad dated and doesn't get much natural light
