This apartment is fantastic! We had such a great time staying here! The whole foods market is amazing and it is just across the road. This apartment is in an ideal location. It is very close to subway lines (less than 1 block walk to 2 different lines), however still within easy walking distance to Times Square and other Manhattan attractions. Chelsea has such a great feel and is very close to the Meatpacking District and the Chelsea High Line. The apartment was spotless when we arrived, and has a robot vacuum cleaner which kept it that way during our whole stay. It is a large apartment by New York standards and has plenty of room to relax. It has fast wireless internet, desktop computer, iPod/iPhone and iPad chargers, printer, huge TV (including cable TV channels), surround sound system (including wireless iPod/iPhone speakers) and air-conditioning/heating. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in, very important when trying to recover from jet-lag! The building has easy-to-use and convenient clothes washing and drying facilities, and is very secure and safe with a 24 hour doorman. Finally, we could not have asked for an easier host to deal with. Ron is very efficient with communications and personally met us at the apartment to show us around and hand over the keys. He is very friendly and was eager to help us with local restaurants and attraction recommendations. We would definitely book Ron's apartment next time we visit New York and we will certainly be telling friends and family about our perfect experience with Ron and airbnb.
