The location is unbeatable - in the heart of Chelsea, and short walks to some of the best of New York City such as Chelsea Market, the High Line, West Village, Washington Square Park and so much more.
The apartment itself is ideal for solo travelers looking for an extended stay in the city. A spacious studio with super tall ceilings, lovely big windows that let in lots of natural light. Fully equipped kitchen, huge bathroom (for NYC standards!), and a great desk for those working remote.
One thing for guests to note is that it is adjacent to the building entry (5 story brownstone), so there is a small amount of hallway/stairwell traffic noise as people come and go. Other than a few inconsiderate neighbors who seem to west concrete boots occasionally, it’s surprisingly quiet for being close to the street, particularly for NYC.
Layton is a fantastic host - super communicative and had some great local suggestions for restaurants and various amenities for a longer stay.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Layton’s place and stay here again myself.
