Accommodation in Manhattan - Travel Guide

There are only a few places in the world that need no introduction and Manhattan is one of them. The beating heart of New York City, Manhattan’s reputation precedes it as an island full of iconic buildings and sights. It is therefore assumed that self-catering apartments in Manhattan come at a premium, yet this is not the case. There are many crash pads to be found on Manhattan island, perfectly positioned to allow you to enjoy all the sparkle of Fifth Avenue, the green of Central Park, the new and exciting experience of walking the High Line and the jaw-droppingly good views of the city that never sleeps from the top of the Empire State Building.

Experience Manhattan like a local

It’s all too easy to fall into the tourist camp whilst staying in Manhattan, but it’s not impossible to explore the must-see sights like a local. Although Central Park is worth walking, running, jogging or skating around - and you will see all these and more ways to navigate the park – follow locals to Paley Park, a “pocket park” tucked away between Madison and Fifth Avenue, which is an urban hiatus. Then while ticking Central Station off your to do list, take some time to pop into the stylish Campbell Apartment bar where commuters relax with a drink or two after work. And if you must take a ferry make it the one to Governors Island, which will take you to a small island that is a national monument and a surprisingly peaceful place to look out on both the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. And when it comes to museums mix the usual suspects like MOMA and the Guggenheim with lesser-known places like the historic Mount Vernon Hotel Museum, the Skyscraper Museum or even the Museum of Sex!
