• Review by: Cornelila O. From: Apartment Rental: 29 days

  The apartment is located in a great neighborhood, really awesome!! Chelsea Market = high quality shopping facilities, Highline Park, Highline Ballroom = good concerts, very good restaurants in the area! The owners are very nice, helpful and straightforward. Good subway connections in all directions. The apartment is old and has a bad smell. For a longer term rental, it is too personal. It has too many of the owner's personal belongings. The closets are partly filled with the owner's clothes. The ventilation in the parking block across the street makes a continuous noise. But you get used to it surprisingly quickly. Nov 12 2012

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review Cornelila. We take your comments seriously as they afford us the opportunity to make future and returning guests feel more comfortable which is always our goal. We are very happy that you enjoyed the neighborhood, ideal to visit so many places, and that you found it easy to get around. The neighborhood is indeed awesome, vibrant and accessible. We have recently reviewed the pictures on the website and what you see is what the apartment looks like. The building is old, built in the 1800's, and adjoins the historic Meatpacking District and the picturesque and cobblestone streets of Chelsea and the West Village, so rich in history filled with compelling figures, yet trendsetting and modern (just check out the Apple Store on the corner of 14th Street and hang out on the triangle for free tango lessons in the summertime). The building across from us is not a parking block but the New York headquarters for Google. The bedroom is in the rear overlooking a garden which offers both quiet and a delightful breeze. The apartment is fully furnished, an extension of our home filled with books and cds and the nuts and bolts of living which you can see from the picture of the bookcase in the main living room. You won't be missing anything, from office supplies - scotch tape and staplers - to just about everything you need in a kitchen. So many of our guests have appreciated these extras, saying that it has made their stay more homey and allowed them comforts not available in hotels, after long days of trying to take in so much or return from a day of work for our longer stay guests. The pictures also reveal a bedroom without any personal items, plenty of storage with a full closet, chest of drawers and open shelving. We have removed items temporarily placed in the second closet in the entryway which we offered to do for you as well, but which now allows for additional storage should you need it. Please note that the apartment is professionally cleaned after each guest. We did note that the flowers in water that we set out upon your arrival were still in the apartment when you left and perhaps this is what you smelled? Thank you for the Swiss chocolates you left for us and we know that you carried home some wonderful memories. Feb 05 2013
