Online start-up offers New York apartments to rent
Internet start-up company NewYorkProperties.co.uk is offering UK travellers to the city the ability to rent apartments.
Fully furnished studio apartments start at £31 per person per night, rising to £105 for fully serviced and doorman-fronted studio apartments.
A four person apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side works out at £23 per person per night (£95 per night per apartment).
The company claims apartment accommodation in New York City offers a realistically priced alternative to the average price of a hotel room.
Accommodation available includes studio, one, two & three bedroom or loft style apartments located throughout Manhattan.
The vast majority apartments are claimed to be centrally located in Manhattan as opposed to being located in any of the other boroughs or New Jersey.
The website also offers insights into local clubs, restaurants, events, activities and personalised itinerary ideas, based on each customers top-five ‘must see’ or ‘must do’s’.
The company will also assist in purchasing property in New York.
Managing director Serge Aoussou said: “Having lived in New York for many years myself I regularly found myself offering assistance and guidance to many friends and contacts from the UK who were looking either to rent or buy property in the city, as there was no one in the UK well placed to help them.
“Consequently I decided to relocate my family to the UK and to establish NewYorkProperties in order to meet the demand.
“Virtually everyone that has ever visited New York can confirm that it is a unique city which leaves an indelible mark on all visitors, many of which are keen to return and some of course to return on a more permanent basis. With hotel rooms conforming to very similar standards the world over, the demand for unique accommodation which is part of the city’s unique fabric is greater than ever before.”
