Twilight Escape

Effectively emphasising the home’s assets, your host proves to have a special touch for small spaces. It’s easy to overlook the square footage, for example, and appreciate instead the modern bathroom with its rainfall shower and stylish kitchenette. It's probably best suited for younger travellers looking for a base, rather than a place to hang out, but with its location in a residential part of the Upper East Side, this area is quiet and peaceful, something that can be hard to find in Manhattan. Local highlights include Gracie Mansion, the East River, and Carl Schurz Park.
