This place is a gem! The location is truly perfect. Close to anything you might need and easy access for everything you might want while in the city. The shopping and the galleries are a huge plus and the High Line is a close walk from the front door. Chelsea is one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC and this apartment is central to it all!
Beyond location, the space is wonderful. It's safe and QUIET, which is not so easy to find in the more centrally located neighborhoods of NYC. The apartment feels great, it's been updated and maintained very well. There's plenty of space (and storage for luggage and longer stays) and it doesn't feel claustrophobic. Everything one (or two people in our case) might need, from internet and cable to new cookware and utensils. The building was quiet and in 8 days I only saw 1 neighbor! It was as if we had the whole building to ourselves. Clean laundry room in the basement...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR ME, plenty of natural light. Both the front living area and back bedroom get great light. And if you don't want light, the drapes and blinds do a great job of keeping the space dark. The hosts and their helpers have done a great a job and clearly given it plenty of thought! We were more than pleased.
Lastly, I did not have communication with Jim, but Rob was AMAZING. He was completely available for all communications and questions, as well as a true pleasure to communicate with at all times. The check-in and check-out were super quick and easy. There was fruit and fresh flowers...coconut water and snack bars for our arrival. Rob (and his property assistants) thought of everything. They were kind and gracious, thoughtful and available.
If you rent this place, you wont be disappointed. I can only hope it will be available for my upcoming trips to NYC. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a great stay!
