New York Apartment - 1 Bedroom Rental in Chelsea (NY-11177)

Wonderful location, excellent windows, friendly and responsive landlords.

The apartment was everything we could have wished for! Great location, very friendly and helpful hosts and in very good condition. The hardwood flooring, authentic ceilings and tasteful interior make the apartment a beautiful place to stay. We had minor issues with getting hot water at times but it was generally really good and the aircon/heating were much appreciated. We got lucky to experience Halloween in NYC, which is a truly unique experience especially on 22nd street. I would definitely recommend this place to others and hope to be able to stay there again in the future. Thanks so much, Alex for hosting us, being flexible in planning and making sure we had an amazing time!

This vacation rental is very well located, very clean and quiet. The owner is nice. My 5-month stay was very pleasant! You can't find a better place!

Overall, I was very satisfied. For Manhattan standards, the price to performance ratio was OK.

I had the pleasure of staying at this apartment for 4 months. From the initial enquiry with Darrell at NYC Habitat to the end of my stay at the apartment I cannot fault the experience. Blaise was a lovely & helpful person to deal with and the apartment itself exceeding my expectations. I will not only recommend NYC Habitat to anyone that takes an extended stay, I will also recommend this apartment. Location- tick. Apartment- tick. Cleanliness- tick. Building - tick.

The owner has been very helpful. The only problem is the central heating because the heating stopped a lot of times at 10pm when I was working at house with the computer and as the cold was quite intense I couldn't work any more.

Also some problems with the wifi. But in conclusion the stay was nice.

Great place to stay in NYC.

We moved to New York in January 2013 and spent our first two months in this apartment. It suited us perfectly, the owners were helpful, the living room is incredibly light and spacious, and the apt. is well heated.

If I had one negative, which would sit amongst the dozens of positives, the hot water is not always reliable, especially in the evenings, but this really is the only thing to improve upon.

Otherwise I highly recommend this as a place to stay - the street and area have great appeal.

Very nice experience. Great location. Nice looking building and very beautiful apartment with three magnificent windows looking outside. Owner very nice, present and helpful. Everything was working perfectly, subway station, restaurants, markets, laundry nearby.

If the cleanliness of the apartment and building could be improved a little, this place will be a dream. I, certainly, will be back.

Over and above the specific conditions of the property, there is a very nice atmosphere created by the gentleness of the landlords. My particular apartment was also wonderfully light.

I stayed here for a month while going through a very intensive course and I chose to stay in this apartment because the location was ideal. Unfortunately it added a lot of stress to an already stressful experience.

The place seemed like it had been cleaned unprofessionally and very quickly, dust was on every surface. There were also mice and cockroaches but I hear that's fairly common in New York.

Most of it had to do with the fact that construction was going on downstairs the entire time. There was a lot of noise during the day and the internet was completely unreliable. When I called one of the owners about needing the internet he seemed annoyed with me and said he would try to fix it when he got back into town in a few days. There was a week where they seemed to be painting, I think and paint fumes wafted into the upstairs apartment. They were so strong that I had to open all of the windows in the middle of the night too keep from getting sick.

Pretty much every appliance was broken. The coffeemaker overheated and set off the smoke alarm but the iron didn't even heat up.

The apartment was in a beautiful location, though, and the owners seemed very nice at first. All in all I just don't believe that this was a very good fit for either of us. If I were to have been on a short vacation, it would have been a bit better but having to deal with so many problems when I was working 18 hours a day made things difficult. The owners got incredibly rude towards the end of my stay, as well. They treated me like I was a burden for trying to get the things that were supposed to work fixed which I didn't really appreciate. It seemed like they were under a lot of stress because of the construction.

Landlord was most accomodating. A pullout sofa sleeper was brought in during our stay to replace the futon that was there. It was more comfortable than the futon, and looked better,too.

We used the kitchen a lot; it has been remodeled (I think the photos on the website need to be updated) and it was well stocked with kitchen tools and some (nonperishable) food staples.

The apt. accomodated 3 family members well. There was one early morning incident (4am) that awakened us and caused us some concern. A tenant (intoxicated) had apparently forgotten or lost his keys and was swearing and pounding on the downstairs doors. I did not, but someone did, open the door. My daughter told me the door was left unlocked until approx. 7:30 the next morning.

The landlord (when informed) was concerned; he said nothing like that had ever happened before. He told me if anything like that did happen again, to have no compunction about calling the police. He also emailed all the other tenants, reminding them to keep the door locked at all times. He also emailed the neighbors, to find out if they had heard anything that night.

The neighborhood was lovely. Other than that one isolated incident, I felt very safe and had a very pleasant stay.

The location of this apartment can't be beat! An extremely quiet apartment on a tree-lined residential street, it is just steps from the highline, the Hudson, Chelsea Market, the subway, plenty of restaurants and shops, etc.

The building dates to the 1920s (I think) and needs significant repair/renovation. Paint and wood flooring are chipping, windows are dirty, furnishings are a bit dated and musty, etc. The kitchen is absolutely tiny.

That said, the apartment is spacious and well-lit, the bed is comfortable and the space does have character and charm. it's a wonderful place for a short-term stay and I really don't think the location could be any better.

The owner is very kind and accommodating.

Had an immediate good feel,spacious enough,lovely light and personelly enjoyedthe view onto the chaming street. The owner was very courteous, helpfull and quick to fix minor problems.

I enjoyed my stay at the apartment. The location was great. The owners were very nice and made sure everything was provided in the apartment. They were also very responsive to any inquiries I had.

The apartment I rented through you suited my needs perfectly while in New York. When I am able to make the trip again, I will certainly be using your service again.
