This is an adorable little apartment in a fabulous location! The apartment is just like the pictures. It is small...but was perfect for just my husband and me. There is some street noise but with Chelsea being relatively quiet for Manhattan it is certainly no big deal. Earplugs are helpful, but I always wear them anyway. My husband had no trouble sleeping without them. The location is exceptional. Chelsea is such a great area of Manhattan. There are so many great little grocery stores and markets close by (Foragers being the best and almost next door!). Great restaurants close by. Close to the subway. Walking distance to Penn Station if you're coming in by train. We always feel safe in Chelsea and this time was no exception. One short flight of stairs up to the apartment so the lack of an elevator is of no importance. Nice, polite residents in the building. Great value when compared to the hotels in the area and really nice to have the extra space and the convenience of the kitchen. Of course it won't happen every time...but we had the added excitement of Law and Order SVU filming on our block while we were there. We didn't see any stars but watching them do take after take of the same scene was kind of fun! And most importantly, Ryan was a great host and responded quickly to every inquiry.
