With a View: New York

Set in the desirable Upper East Side, this cosy two-bedroom apartment really lets you immerse yourself in local life. Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for a fee, so you can bring the whole family along. You'll find the compact kitchen plenty capable when it comes to rustling up something tasty, and there's a wide selection of eateries on your doorstep if you're not feeling up to cooking. Central Park isn't far to walk, and public transport is easily accessible for getting around, whether you're commuting or ticking the sights off your bucket list.

Home truths:
*Parking in New York City can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The 72nd Street subway station is around a three-minute walk away and is served by the N, Q, and R lines, and there are several bus stops nearby for getting around.
*The kitchen here is very small and lacks counter space, so we think it's better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*The second bedroom is quite small, and the king bed can only be accessed from one side.
*Being in an apartment building, you can expect to bump into other residents of the building during your stay.
