I stayed here for 6 weeks during the summer while working remotely and LOVED it! Lauren’s place is bright, clean, comfortable, and incredibly quiet. It’s on the fourth floor of a small building that feels very safe. Lauren provided clear instructions for how everything worked was responsive with any questions I had.
The space: The apartment is more than enough space for one person, and could fit two comfortably. The furniture fits the space perfectly and it all felt new. The place was spotless when I arrived and there was plenty of space for things throughout the apartment. Very comfortable bed (I will be buying the same mattress!), enormous walk-in closet in the bedroom. The living room has a nice desk by the window where I worked remotely 9-5 each day. I had occasional Wifi reliability issues when videoconferencing, but got an Ethernet cable to plug into the router directly below the desk and then had fast and reliable internet. The kitchen has a good amount of counter space and is well appointed with pots, pans, spices. The bathroom has a lot of storage for New York and I had no trouble with water pressure or temperature. There is an AC window unit that is Wifi-controlled (really nice to be able to turn it on while walking home) and the ceiling fans cool down the place well.
Location: It’s located on a quiet residential street but is just one block from restaurants and shopping, and about 8-10 min from 3 different subway lines (ACE, L, and 123). It’s also extremely close to the High Line, Whitney Museum, Little Island, and Chelsea Market. You have a view out of the back of the building (so it’s even more quiet) of One World Trade Center. There is a grocery store 5 min away and a CVS 8 min away. You can walk down into the West Village, up into Chelsea, great location!
Final thoughts: I can’t stress enough how QUIET this place is, for any city, especially New York! It’s an extremely peaceful, cozy, well-lit space. It was a great place to stay for the summer while working remote and exploring the city, I highly recommend it!
