Chelsea is a popular area of New York City favored by locals and tourists alike. Though much of it is residential, it is also home to many diverse retail businesses as well as art galleries, bars, and eclectic shops. The famed Hotel Chelsea, run-down and dingy in its former life, is walking distance from the home and is known for housing such notable residents as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Patti Smith, Sid Vicious and many more…before they made it big! Just one street away from your awaiting accommodation is the High Line, an elevated 1 mile (1.6km) linear park built on the West Side Line of the former New York Central Railroad, and a must-visit tourist attraction offering an unusually calm landscape in New York. For shopping after a restful walk, the Alexander McQueen store is located just next to the High Line. Also available in the area is the Chelsea Market, Jack Shainman art gallery, Clement Clark Moore Park, Limelight (the infamous hotspot of the early 90’s club kids), Rubin art museum, Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre for a night of stand-up comedy, Chelsea Flower Market, and numerous historic churches.

A variety of public transportation options are nearby the apartment, including the 1 & 2 trains at 18th Street & 7th Avenue, the 1 & 2 trains at 23rd Street & 7th Avenue, and the C, E, and A trains at 23rd Street & 8th Avenue. These subways will take you anywhere in Manhattan, ensuring you a comfortable tour of the Big Apple.
