Jay was exceptionally conscientious about making sure our stay was good. He checked in periodically regarding our arrival, satisfaction with the apartment, and departure plans.
The Chelsea location is ideal for exploring that part of Manhattan. There are many great small neighborhood restaurants in the area and plenty of shopping. It's a low rise residential neighborhood far less noisy and congested than other parts of NYC.
The most satisfying aspect of the apartment itself is the quietness. It's rare to be able to escape the barrage of traffic and construction noise in Manhattan. So, it was nice to come home to a guaranteed peacefull setting with a pleasant north-facing courtyard view.
The apartment itself was fine although the quality is a tad less that represented by the photos. It reminded me of an apartment I might have rented right out of college with a cobbled together collection of furnishings, pots and pans and hand-me-down appliances. Nevertheless, the location, size, quiet and first floor walk-up made up for those minor shortcomings.
