Lauren's apartment was great and she was a terrific host. Even though Lauren was out of town getting the key was easy. We spent three nights and couldn't have asked for anything more. The apartment is near the A/C/E, 1/2/3 and L subway lines so getting around is easy. There's also no shortage of nearby restaurants, bars, coffee shops/houses and retail stores if you want to stay local. Chelsea Market is just a few blocks away. The apartment was very clean, furnished just as advertised, and Lauren left great instructions and tips. Additionally, the whole time we were there she was reachable by phone/text if we had needed anything. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
