Before we arrived Rob couldnt be more helpful - giving me political and historical insights as well as info about our vacation. Rod was an excellent, knowledgeable host. We arrived late but Rod was there to meet up and show us round the apartment. As the next guests were not due to arrive until the evening we had a very flexible check-out. We were even able to do some last-minute drying in the washer-dryer after an unexpected downpour.
Chelsea is a superb base to explore New York - it's well-connected and has excellent small bistros, cafes, coffee shops and restaurants. The High Line is unmissable.
The apartment is thoughtfully-designed, has plenty of charm, a super-comfy bed, 25Mb broadband. The bathroom is perhaps a little cluttered but the shower is reliable and decent. Overall the listing is accurate and the premises tick all the boxes. I'd certainly be keen to come back next time we visit NYC.
