Ali is an exceptional host and we greatly appreciate her sharing her wonderful apartment in the Meatpacking District with us.
She was very gracious with check in and and check out times and communication regarding same was spot-on and very useful.
Whereas the single bedroom apartment is best suited for a solo traveler or couple our group of four (2 couples) felt we had plenty of room.
The bathroom which we shared has access both from the bedroom and combined kitchen/living area that makes up the rest of the apartment.
The couch in the living area is more than comfortable to sleep on but better still were the daybeds that were easy to assemble (mattress on top of fold-able frame.
The apartment is in a charming walk-up on a delightful block that is easily accessible by foot, subway, or Uber. From the apartment you are a short walk to Chelsea Market, the High Line, the West Village, and the galleries of Chelsea.
The apartment is on the first floor with the bedroom looking onto the street--there are blackout curtains for privacy and the noise in the bedroom area from the street was minimal. The living space in the apartment looks out onto a charming courtyard and garden (belonging to another apartment in the building I believe).
Cats are apparently kept in the apartment but we noted no cat hair--the apartment itself is scrupulously cleaned.
As lovely as the apartment is it would not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues.
Many thanks again Ali for your kindness and hospitality!
