Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
I reside in the building, together with my wife of more than 25 years. We have two adult children. I run a small publishing business out of my home and am on premises most of the time. I grew up in New York. My wife and I love to travel. We are very sociable and enjoy welcoming guests from all over the world.
Why the Owner Chose Chelsea
We chose to live in Chelsea in the mid 90's when it was fast developing into a real neighborhood with development plans in place for the nearby meatpacking district and Highline. It has since become a lively and interesting place to visit or reside. The rental apartment is in the same town house as the owners' permanent residence.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
Access to museums, art galleries, theater, night life and many different cultural amenities. Easy access to other boroughs of New York with zoo, botanical gardens, as well as Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey.

From our own guestbook: Richard and Lesley, Thank you for a marvelous stay in Chelsea. Your apartment is so well located - within walking distance to the village and midtown, and within easy public transport distance to everything else. I appreciated the thoughtful "extras" - all the amenities in the bathroom and kitchen, as well as the very comfortable beds and linens. Even the sofabed was comfortable! And thanks, too, for the recommendation to check out La Bergamote - scrumptious! Aloha, Dawn PS - And I forgot to note how much I enjoy the decor - very classy, yet comforting.

Jan and I are headed back to CA and the quiet life (?) We'll be swapping NY stories 'til our next go around in 2010. Jim PS Thank you, Richard, for not mentioning the Yankees once! Thank you for a wonderful week. We'll surely come again. Jan

Homeowner Response:
Not to confuse potential visitors, I think (and hope) Mary meant "gem", not "gym"! There are gyms nearby if you are so inspired, but we are a small residential building and don't have one on-site other than 2 flights of stairs!
