Hi Guys! We have Katja of One Fine Stay on the blog today:
Trying to find a decent hotel in New York can be tiresome. So why not go for an unhotel instead? onefinestay is London’s alternative way of spending a night away from home, without feeling like a tourist. Instead of staying in a hotel room, you can choose an apartment from the company’s catalogue, which compromises of more than 1,000 individually designed apartments- both in London and New York. These are some of the gems that can be rented.
East 18th Street 4– Country style in New York
West Street– An old New York spice factory with a Scandinavian touch
Linen Gardens – Stunningly designed apartment near the Kensington Gardens in London
However, staying at someone else’s place while they are out of town does not mean missing out on the comforts of a traditional hotel. Fluffy towels and complementary shower gel are included in the service, as is an iPhone which is handed over along with the keys. On the phone recommendations of the owners of the apartment about the area are saved. Instead of trying to find your way around with a guide book, you’ll experience the town from a different angle- that cute second hand shop around the corner, the Italian restaurant with the best pasta in town or the flea market which is only there at the weekends: get to know the city like a local!
Thank you Katja!! I would LOVE to stay in one of these in London…ah, hopefully someday soon.
