This is an absolutely terrific apartment. It's extremely spacious and quiet by Manhattan standards, and is in a great location. Whether or not you're already familiar with the neighborhood, you'll get your bearings quickly and will be able to walk to most everything you need. (Great subway access, nearby coffee/bagels/bodegas/pharmacy, etc.) Being this close to the incredible High Line can't be beat, and it's also an easy walk to Union Square, Madison Square Park, and Washington Square Park.

We stayed here with two small children, and the apartment and building were easy to navigate with a stroller. The layout is superb--we could get the kids settled into the bedroom at night and still wash dishes in the kitchen or watch TV in the living room without waking them. Chad has his home decorated beautifully and sparsely, and it's very clean and comfortable. He was laid-back about check-in and checkout. There's effective air conditioning for every room, and the windows also open.
