Best New York City-Flatiron District holiday apartments

The Flatiron neighbourhood of New York takes its name from the Flatiron Building located on 23rd Street. Surrounded by Union Square, Greenwich Village and Lexington Avenue, this area is famous for being one of the ‘shorter’ areas of Manhattan. The composition of the bedrock means that most buildings in the vicinity are no higher than 20 storeys, and many structures top off at between 6 and 10 floors. This unique, vibrant and historic area of New York City is a great place to base your visit to the Big Apple, as it is home to many apartment buildings. Booking a holiday apartment in Flatiron District with 9flats will mean you can live as part of this thriving community – if only for a few days!

Luxurious Holiday Apartments in Flatiron District

One of the main features of this area of Manhattan is the architecture. The Flatiron Building was one of the first skyscrapers to be built on the island, and it pre-dates even the Empire State Building. The Met Life Tower is located on Madison Avenue, and until 1913, it had the honour of being the world’s largest building. A distinctive pyramid can be seen on the nearby New York Life Building – which stands on the site of the original Madison Square Garden. If you simply feel like admiring these incredible structures from the ground, Madison Square and a beautiful park provide a relaxing environment in which to do so. Renting a holiday apartment in New York will mean you are within walking distance of many of these great buildings. And a luxury holiday residence will be your secluded refuge from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.

Holiday Accommodation in Flatiron District Puts You in Touch with the Local Community

As well as its incredible buildings, the Flatiron District is also known for its bohemian culture and its boutique art galleries. The city’s Museum of Sex is located on 27th Street, and the nearby Gershwin Hotel has been dedicated to the works of pop-culture artist Andy Warhol. The area is also home to an extremely vibrant retail district; the centre of which is located on 6th Avenue. If you ever get lost in this busy part of Manhattan, make sure you look for the unmistakable gold dome of the Sohmer Building – the area’s most famous landmark. Culture, art and excitement abound in the Flatiron district, and staying in holiday accommodation in Midtown West will mean you can sample them at close-quarters – something hotels simply can’t offer.

The service delivered by 9flats is similar to the phenomenon of couchsurfing in Flatiron District. However, 9flats gives you the opportunity to rent an entire luxury home – without the need to share it with the owners or other travellers.
