Hideaway Studio

Hideaway Studio: New York

This is a cosy and well-appointed studio apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved. And the host has pepped it up a bit with antique flea market finds, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Your immediate neighbourhood is tree-lined and quiet and a bit of a way from the city's epicentre - but it's a true delight should you want a peaceful retreat in NYC.

Home truths:
* Should you need more space, take a look at the other properties in this Brownstone

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

* This is a studio style apartment, so there is no wall separating the bedroom and kitchen

* The large backyard is shared between the other guests in the townhouse

* The aesthetic may not be up to everyone's taste
