Manhattan is the New York City borough that most first-time travelers to the city start exploring because of all the famous landmarks and attractions here, including Times Square, Central Park, and the Empire State Building. When I visited Manhattan in the past, I typically stayed at hotels and hostels. But there are also some Airbnb vacation rentals available if you would rather stay in an apartment, condo, or room inside a private residence.
Here are some top-rated Airbnbs in Manhattan to consider for a unique and comfortable stay in the city.
