Great little spot with a big view, close to so many things, too many to count! Convenient to all public transit, great walking and biking. My sister and I felt very safe. Head down the street and walk along the river all the way to the Whitney. While you are here, make sure to head over to the edge for the most spectacular Top-of-NYC view experience. Night is the best! The later, the less crowded. Chelsea Market and Eataly in walking distance for all the amazing grab and go ro sit down, or top-notch grocery you need. There is also a Whole Foods (with no wine!) down the block. Matt is a great host, and the apartment has most everything you need. We were going to cook, but never got around to it. Still, you could! Bring your noise- cancelling headphones if you want to sleep in.
