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 at this Apartment
We are within five minutes walking of the Meatpacking district and High Line. We also have easy access to museums, art galleries, theater, night life and many different cultural amenities, as well as to the Bronx Zoo, Bronx and Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey.

Every year since 2008 I've been visiting NYC and staying at this nice and comfortable apartment at least once a year. This time I came with a friend and stayed there for over two weeks and I must say everything was perfect, as usual, from the warm reception of Lesley and Richard to the newly renovated apartment not to mention the convenient location close to a subway station and all amenities.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our nearly week-long stay here, the place was nicer than I would have imagined and was a perfect home-base to spend a busy week in New York. I grew up there, so I know how bad some places can be in New York and I also know to usually expect less than is promised but this was a wonderful experience all around. The owner is a life-long New Yorker as well, so if you've never been there, he can help get you oriented so you can enjoy the city and all it has to offer. There are stairs to climb, so if that's a problem for you this may not be right for you, but we had no issue with the stairs ourselves and we're 50+.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

The bed and sofa were both very good to sleep on - and the kitchen and bathroom are both well set up and appointed. Thanks very much for your hospitality and I hope the new year will be good for you and Sherlock. We hope to come back sometime!

We braved the great 2010 blizzard to reach NY from DC. It was worth it! The apartment was ideal - perfect location and perfect size. The Thornes are gracious hosts.
