Private bedroom in a 2-bed 1-bath on 5th and 55th in Manhattan.

Same location as hotels where guests pay $900–$3,200/night (3 such hotels just ~300 ft away and several more within a few min walk), at a fraction of the price, with the soul of a real New York home.

I've curated and filled this pre-war Manhattan apartment with rare antiques and several one-of-a-kind objects, especially in the living room.

There's a marble fireplace, a towering antique Seth Thomas grandfather clock and gilded mirrors.

There's a cloud mural and a $5,500+ bed set up with hotel-grade luxury bedding and high end mattress in your room.

Cook with top-of-the-line stainless steel cookware, fine dining dishware sourced from the same suppliers as NYC's fine dining restaurants, and crystal wine glasses.

You'll be living with a Michelin-starred pastry chef (and she's mostly at work)

Apartment is super quiet despite being on one of the most historic and luxury-brand dense streets in all of NYC (and neighbors are really quiet).

Private bedroom + shared bathroom
High-speed WiFi
All utilities (electric, heat, water)
