We spent here ten nights , during December holidays .
Arrival was easy ; during our trip from JFK , we have been in touch with Rod via text messages or emails .
The apt is nice . In my opinion , a restoration , in the bathroom above all ( the mini-tub could be replaced by a comfortable , modern , safer shower ) , would add value . The heating is quite .... ancient , especially the heater in the bedroom . It is a central heating so ,often , it is "on" when you don't need it and it is "off" when it could be useful .
The Nespresso machine in the kitchen has been greatly appreciated : we are italian :)
Unfortunately , no complimentary capsules in the house so you need to go out to the boutique
( Macy's has one on the 8th floor ) and buy few . A couple of small espresso cups would be also precious .
Wi-Fi worked great everywhere .
Location is ideal . Two Metro stations ( one on 23rd street/7th avenue , one on
23rd street/8th avenue ) , connecting with downtown and uptown , are very close to the apt and Chelsea is a quiet , charming area to stay , away from confusion .
There are few interesting restaurants nearby ; we loved the "Red Cat" .
