This 2/3 person, impeccably restored, one bedroom apartment is comfortable, attractive and convenient - one of our favourites for sure! The location is top notch - just steps from the neighborhood shops, cafés and restaurants on Lexington Avenue and only one block from fashionable Park Avenue.

The apartment is located on the first floor of a recently renovated, turn of the century, historic brick townhouse. It sleeps 2 to 3 in one double bedroom and a sofa-bed that pulls out to a single. This lovely apartment really feels more like a home than a city rental - it boasts a private entrance as well as coded keys for added security.

This inviting space has hardwood floors, a leather loveseat (that pulls out to a single bed), an antique chest of drawers and a carved wooden table with 4 chairs which can be used as a workspace or for dining. The sofa is at the front of the apartment, framed by two windows which have a great view of the street and which can be closed with blinds for total privacy. Across the room, on the right wall, is a 27" flat screen television atop a handsome wooden cabinet.

This apartment has cable television channels as well as high speed, wi-fi access internet. There is no phone service in this property.

Against the left wall, in front of the kitchen area, is the dining area - pleasingly lit by a small chandelier which hangs directly above the table and chairs.

The newly renovated kitchen in the back left corner of room is a treat for the eyes - and for any cook as well! It has custom made wooden cabinets, polished marble backsplashes and granite countertops with an inset, flat ceramic, range/hob and all new, modern appliances including a stainless steel fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

Behind the living room, hidden at the back of the apartment, you'll find the quiet bedroom (10ft9 x 7ft6,3.3m x 2.3m). Safe from street noise, it's completely private with no outside noise pollution at all - country silence in the middle of the city!

This room is also furnished in a pleasing, classic style with elegant bedding on the double bed (75"x54"), an antique nightstand topped with a stained glass reading lamp, an antique armoire for storage and a large, wooden-framed mirror above the bed.

This room, and each room in this apartment, has individual temperature control.

Next to the bedroom, the marble-tiled bathroom has an attractive black marble and carved wood vanity unit with the washbasin, a loo and a glass-enclosed, oversized stand-up shower with overhead showerhead and built-in body spray - your own spa!

Couples or small families will additionally enjoy the ample room for self catering, as well as the location - close to many parts of the city they'll want to visit.
