Starburst: New York

This Harlem home is five levels of unabashed colour and acute attention to detail. From the unique light fixtures to the original artwork and the Gaggenau appliances to the vibrant garden, every inch of space has been expertly styled. And we’re not the only ones to think so, the home was featured in an edition of design magazine, Curbed NY. The second floor leads to a quaint terrace with string lights—the perfect setting for intimate evenings sharing a bottle of wine. And you’ll have no problem waking up energised as the sun pours in through the bedroom windows, though you’ll have to battle the temptation to stay in the luxurious Coyuchi linens for just five more minutes. While you will relish the tranquillity of your quiet residential street, a rarity in New York City, there are plenty of dining options and swanky jazz clubs nearby. Plus, Central Park and 125 Street station, with its direct trains into the heart of Manhattan, are only a ten-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*There’s no internal elevator in this home so it won’t be suitable for those with limited mobility
*If you’re staying with little ones, a cot can be provided—just ask your host upon booking
*For longer stays, a housekeeper will attend between two to three times a week
