My partner and I spent 10 days in Tabita's charming brownstone apartment and would highly recommend it to others.

The apartment is the perfect size for one person or a couple, with a small dining area and garden in addition to the living area. While we did not cook during our stay, there are modest fridge and cooking amenities available for breakfast etc. There is a small and simple shower, which is actually in the sleeping area - with the toilet and sink in a separate room.

The artwork that fills the apartment is beautiful and fascinating and adds a lot of character to the rooms. The artwork does take up a lot of the higher shelf space, but Tabita has provided shelving and drawers for use.

The apartment is secure, private and very quiet for New York and we were not disturbed by noises on the street or from the surrounding apartments.

The Chelsea area is lovely and we felt very safe, with subway stations near by. There are many cafes and restaurants near by, including the wonderful Chelsea Markets which is only a short walk away. For sightseeing we found that thanks to the great location, we were always a short subway ride from the major attractions and rarely had to navigate the subway further than a few stops.

Tabita was a kind and gracious host. She respected our privacy, but was always available for anything we needed. This was our first trip to NYC and we couldn't be happier!
