What a brilliant place to come home to - quiet and peaceful. A view out the window to a brilliant little jungle of a garden below and framing the new WTC building above the rooftops.
Don't be put off by the climb up the stairs; you'll get used to it.
The apartment is incredibly warm and cosy even on the coldest of days. And the bed is lusciously comfortable after roaming the city.
Lauren was waiting there to meet us; she had prepared a brilliant list of cafes, restaurants, and bars in the neighbourhood – even with a map to each.
As to the location - at the western end of the street is Nonna's deli for all your food needs. Lauren's apartment is one block from the commencement of the recently completed high line. This is a stroll you will love - it takes you above the streets of Chelsea all the way up to Penn Station. At the eastern end of the block on 8th ave almost at 14th you'll find a truly great coffee at Think with the morning sun streaming through the windows.
Want a great burger? Bills Burgers is 3 mins walk away. It's worth it. So is Friedmans Lunch (and dinner) inside Chelsea Market just a couple of blocks north.
If going outside is all too much, the selection of cable movies and programs is reason enough on its own to stay indoors.
We would stay here again without a moment’s hesitation.
