Cedar Cove

Talk about prime location – this smart apartment is in the heart of the Upper East Side, halfway between the East River and Central Park. Surrounded by all sorts of places to eat, drink, shop, and be entertained, it's the perfect spot for an exciting break in NYC. Unusually for a studio home, this place has more than one bed – while you sleep soundly on the four-poster bed in the main space, another bed on the mezzanine level allows for a second or third guest. Neatly put together and with modern furnishings throughout, there are white walls and wood floors with pops of colour from the bold yellow sofa and the blue curtains. Get some work done (if you really have to) at one of the desks and whisk up meals in the fully-equipped kitchen before heading out to explore the city on foot. From here, you can wander over to the aptly-named Museum Mile in just ten minutes, to visit the Frick Madison and the Guggenheim along with several other institutions. Once you've had your fill of culture, stretch your legs in Central Park, or indulge in some shopping at the boutiques on Madison Avenue. And, if you want to travel to another part of the city, simply hop on the subway at 72nd Street station – it's just four minutes away.
