This is a great cozy Mid-town Manhattan apartment with the perfect host! It’s great for a couple who want a central location, where it’s easy to get around. The building has an elevator which is so much better than the lower Eastside walk-ups.
Catia, the host is always available to help and answer questions, usually within minutes. She went out of her way to make our stay easy and enjoyable on more than one occasion.
The apartment is an easy walk from Penn Station.
You are a block away from a new Whole Foods and two blocks away from the huge new shopping development at Hudson Yards. Be sure to visit the Vessel, a stunning new Manhattan landmark.
Also, check out Little Spain Mercado in the lower level of the shopping center for the best authentic tapas, Spanish restaurants, wine bars, and shops selling Spanish food products of the highest quality. For those of you who know of Chef Jose Andres (most recently of World Central Kitchen fame), he, his brothers, and others are involved in this venture.
Also within 2 blocks is the access to the High Line, an elevated urban walking path which will take you down to Chelsea Market. A wonderful walk among the old and the newest architecture.
This apartment is also within walking distance from Broadway Theaters. We walked back on two different nights after attending the theater.
Also, discovered some great little hole-in-the wall restaurants by just exploring up 9th and 10th Avenue.
