New York City has to be one of the most eccentric and eclectic cities to visit on the planet - and what better way to experience the city like a local in a New York apartment rental. As soon as you land at JFK airport you know you have reached a place like no other on earth. Its sheer size grabs your attention and then you start to notice how busy everyone is. From the yellow cabs whizzing past like darts, to the business men rushing from one place to the next, or the frantic shoppers sampling the best deals to be had.

With a population of just over 8 million New York City is the 3rd most populated state in America and approximately the 26th largest state in terms of size. As a result there are many New York accommodation options here. Its origins date back to the early 17th century when Dutch settlers first started to populate the area. To live like a New Yorker opt for a New York vacation apartment in Manhattan or Brooklyn:

Midtown East, Manhattan
Choose your New York apartment in Midtown East to always be a stone-throw away from some of New York most iconic landmarks including the Park Avenue, the Grand Central Station and the Rockerfeller center, while Times Square and the Museum of Modern Art will never be far away either. Murray Hill, Kips Bay and Gramercy are the typical neighborhoods to choose from within Midtown East.

Brooklyn
What's particularly noticeable about Brooklyn is its brilliant ethnical diversity. Culturally, this incredible borough is home to a buzzing art scene, making it a great location for those looking to rent a New York holiday apartment in a unique and original part of the city. As you would expect, Brooklyn has some of the best nightclubs and bars and is home to some of the finest art galleries. They say that when you visit Brooklyn you can travel the World in one day.

Times Square, Manhattan
The fact that business owners in this area are REQUIRED to display neon signs gives you an indication of what Times Square is all about. If you are thinking about staying in New York City on New Years Eve, this is the place to head to as over 500,000 revellers celebrate here every year. Times Square is also home to Broadway, which is renowned for its theatres making it a HIT for all the family. Surely Manhattan would be a great district to choose your New York vacation apartment in if you want to be in the middle of it all. »More New York Travel Tips

    Tompkins Park 1B
    We have staid many times in NYC in several hotels. This time in a New York apartment in East Village, Tompkins Park. It was the best. This New York accommodation is well furnished and very clean. The location is the best for people who like to stay in a nice neighbourhood with small shops and restaurants, only locals. Nearest subway station about 10 minutes walk.We recommend this place !! We will publish a video on the Facebook page of Holiday Velvet

    Grand Central Charm 5
    This New York apartment was very bright and comfortable. Situated in a really central part of midtown and close to a small supermarket which was very handy. The apartment block felt safe. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. The kitchen had minimal equipment but we managed. A toaster would have been an asset. Overall a pleasant stay and reasonably priced compared to booking 2 rooms in a New York hotel. I would certainly book again, thanks
