We would highly recommend Isabelle's lovely Chelsea studio. It's compact but perfect for a NYC stay. Though it's in a terrific central area, it's quiet, with good stores nearby - Foragers for groceries and lovely sourdough baguettes, and Grumpy cafe for excellent coffee. Thanks Isabelle for these suggestions. The studio was very clean with good reference books on NYC. Our queries were answered promptly. Nice big shower. Would recommend making up the sofa bed daily for more room. It's firm and comfortable, unlike some sofa beds. Thanks for your hospitality, Isabelle. Just sorry we couldn't stay longer as it was booked already.
