Tony's 3 story walk-up is perfect space and place to satisfy your interest in the arts, theater, conversation, and exploring the city's neighborhoods with Chelsea and its galleries at the center. To give you a flavor: Within 24hrs, I had a lovely conversation with Lee Ann (co-host), attended two solo performances downstairs from my room, hung out with the cast/crew after, visited neighborhoods just south and down to the memorial (my first time - finally), and met with a friend for dinner along with the Andy Warhol show at the Whitney nearby. Meanwhile, inside (and why are you still inside? :), you have general free reign of the second floor and its kitchen with occasional visits by the family and cat. The style is, essentially, what you would expect of an artists' residence - funky, eclectic, and house spirits with tales to tell. If you prefer the pristine setting of a hotel, Midtown is the way to go. Otherwise, if you are open to the unexpected, then this is your place. I am already planning my next visit.
