Spacious and light-filled 1-bedroom penthouse duplex just steps from Union Square (13th St & 4th Ave) in Manhattan. The apartment spans the 7th and 8th floors of a small elevator building (not wheelchair accessible).
The lower level features a living room with a large couch, TV, dining table, and work desk, plus kitchen, bathroom, and a small balcony. The upper level has a king bedroom with a skylight, a second desk, and a private terrace with outdoor sofas and city views. Note that the two levels are connected by a spiral staircase and that there's no door closing off the upper level.
Amenities: elevator, dishwasher, laundry in the basement, and a small gym.
The apartment is fully furnished. Kitchen has the basics (I don't really cook). Utilities and wifi included.
Location: Unbeatable — just 2 minutes to the Union Square subway (4/5/6, N/Q/R/W, and L), with easy access to anywhere in the city. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Target, and Walgreens are all within a 5-minute walk, along with plenty of great restaurants and cafés. Perfectly situated between the East and West Village.
Available Nov 13–29, 2025 — $180/day. Preference for someone staying the full period or close to it. Please reach out if interested!
I’m a NYC lover, originally from Germany, and coming up on 10 years in the city. This has been my home for the past 2.5 years and I'm just looking to cover rent while I'm away traveling.
Will always be available for help via email/whatsapp.
