Hideaway Garden

Hideaway Garden: New York

This is a cosy and well-appointed apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Originally built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved including its wood floors, decorative fireplace, and vintage bathroom. And the host has pepped it up a bit with old baseball pendants and framed antique advertisements, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Keep in mind this is a garden level apartment, so you won't have a ton of natural light - but you will have a private and shared terrace where you can soak up some sun.

Home truths:
* This apartment is on the garden level and doesn't get a ton of natural light in the fall and winter months

* You're on a quiet street away from the city's hustle and bustle, so your commute into Midtown will take about 15 minutes

* Guests 3-4 will sleep on a queen sized sofa bed in the living room

* Though you'll have your own private terrace, the large yard out back is shared between the other guests in the townhouse
