We loved Ryan's place !! My wife and I stayed here for a week and by the end of it we really felt like we were local New Yorkers !! The apartment is in Chelsea which is a hip part of the city, it's bustling with everything you need from cool cafés, organic delis, movie cinemas, comedy clubs..you name it Chelsea has it. In addition its a very short walk to the meat packaging district which is a great place to spend a day or night. The subway is close but we used cabs to get everywhere as it was so convenient to catch them from right outside the apartment. The apartment is sparking clean, has a great kitchen, bathroom, wifi and tv. There is really nothing more you need and Ryan is a great host who is super responsive with tips on the local scene. Love this place!!
