Town & Country reports that the townhouse at 169 East 71st Street, which was used in Breakfast at Tiffany’s as the exterior of Holly Golightly’s residence, is now available for short-term stays. The house can be booked through luxury vacation rental platform Inspirato – which charges a $2,500 / month membership fee. A write-up by Guest of a Guest is titled “You Can Now Stay In Holly Golightly’s ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ Townhouse!” But $2,500 per month is a lot. So maybe you can’t actually stay there.
