Manhattan Soul

Manhattan Soul: New York

Perfect for a couple or lone business traveller visiting the Big Apple, this compact apartment in the Lower East Side places you within easy reach of restaurants, cafes, galleries and shops. It’s a small space, but comfortable and well-thought-out and offers one bonus that many New York apartments don’t – on-street parking. Of course, you may prefer not to drive during your stay, and there are plenty of Subway stations within walking distance for when you’re keen to hop across the city.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*There's free on-street parking here, although a car isn't necessary with F, M, J, and Z Subway stations within walking distance.
*There isn't an oven, but there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs.
*This apartment overlooks neighbouring homes. The views aren't the most inspiring and it lacks a little privacy.
*The bedroom curtains don't fully block out the sunlight. The room is on the smaller side, with the bed pushed against the wall.
