  • Reviewer: Артем

    Comments: The place was exactly what I looked for my stay and was great for my business trip. Location is great. It's a few blocks from 23rd Street train station, which is convinient as you can take E train directly from JFK without transfers. Other metro stations are in walking distance as well. Super close to High Line and in very nice street block in Chelsea, very quiet which is not usuall for the busy NY. Great restaurants/bars in walking distance. Host is attentive, informative, and made sure that I have everything I need for my stay. Fast response. Easy to communicate. Keys pick up/drop off are easy. Accommodating. Place is on a smaller side (well, it's NYC) but perfect for me as I was by myself. It has everythings I needed and nothing I didn't need. Comfy bed. Modern kitchen space to prepare coffee/food. Super clean. Lots of light during the day. Washer/dryer, which is kind of luxury in NYC. Bathtub to relax. Building is clean and quiet.

  • Reviewer: Natalie

    Comments: Gina was the most welcoming host and provided everything I needed and if not she was quick to organize. Great at communication - I knew exactly all the detials for my stay very quickly and efficently. Plus, she gave local tips and hot spots to try - fab! I would highly recommned this apartment. It is small, but well equipt, fantastic location and in the heart of Chelsea! After living in NYC for three month here I cam to love the washing maching in the unit (luxury). I loved my extended stay and enjoyed living there.

  • Reviewer: Артем

    Comments: This is my the most favorite place to stay in Manhattan. This is a high-end area of Chelsea with beautiful trees, beautiful people and beautiful cafes. It's been my second time booking this flat, and I have no regrets. The host is fantastic. She is so accommodating, so polite and so friendly. She is always available over the phone / text/ email to answer all the questions and to give any recommendation on secret spots in NYC. She always makes me feel like I'm coming to visit my good friend's place who is out of town. Her place is well kept, spotless clean, modern and has an exposed brick wall for added character. The key pickup&dropoff is super smooth and available 24/7. This is great for a nomad like myself or a business traveler or even someone who wants to explore NY as a real New Yorker and avoid all the touristy spots yet be conveniently close to them. This is no large place but totally perfect for one person. There are the best bagel place, lots of bakeries and coffee shops in the neighborhood. Also it's conveniently close to subway. And forgot to mention, it's just one block from High Line!!! One of the evening I stayed, I saw a famous producer at the restaurant close by - I know it's not about the listing but the neighborhood is so cool. Love it! Recommend it! Looking forward to be back!

  • Reviewer: Min Jung

    Comments: the location is perfect. I felt calm and safe deli, 24hours cvs ..etc, everything is near the place. it was my first AIRBNB, Gina makes me use this later again :) she is really kind and sweet. always ask me if there are problem with place! also whenever I'd like to contact her to ask something, she replied directly :) you will not regret if choose this lovely place!

  • Reviewer: Paul

    Comments: This is a very comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay in. Gina is one of the best, very rare and responsible hosts that you may not know still exists, She was always concerned about my stay in her well stocked apartment. Living there is made even easier by the availability of a washer/drier within the room, its proximity to the 1,2, E and C subway stations and affordable supermarkets and restaurants. I will always recommend this place to anyone wishing to stay in a clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient place.

  • Reviewer: Amina

    Comments: Gina is an amazing host and is always available. The apartment is super cozy, clean, comfortable, and close to all amenities. I highly recommend it!!!

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: Gina is terrific. Rented it for my 21 year old daughter doing an internship in NYC

  • Reviewer: Alex

    Comments: Very quaint flat in a great and very calm neighborhood. It is indeed very small but perfect for one person as the space is very optimized! It even includes an iron and a washing machine. Overall it feels very cosy and works perfectly as a pied-à-terre after long days exploring New York. Subways are very close, another plus. I usually like airbnbs notably for the opportunity to meet with the renter/ sub-renter which was not the case here, but Gina had set up a convenient pick-up location for me to get the keys by myself upon arrival. At a broader level, my stay in New York was fantastic and I felt well in this flat

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: Cute little apartment in Chelsea. Exactly as it looks in photo - new interiors, super cosy and in a great area. Gina was super helpful - thanks for the stay!

  • Reviewer: Hildegard

    Comments: What a great little place to have discovered to stay at in NYC. Perfect for one person. Small but not crammed. Well equipped and nicely decorated. I felt immediately at home on arrival. I found the location brilliant , all I needed and more was within walking distance. Great places to eat minutes away , and with subway stations so near I got to Lincoln centre in record time. Also Gina left me with great info for anyplace of interest etc. , which is always useful. She was in fact an all round perfect host. Will certainly book again.

  • Reviewer: Becca

    Comments: Great studio apartment in a great location. Modern and up to date. Very Clean.

  • Reviewer: Dan

    Comments: Gina is an outstanding host with a terrific, cozy place. Excellent location to get out and see the city.

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: Gina's place is just as described and as seen in the pictures. The location is fantastic and the place has everything you might need. Close to the subway and a nice walk into the city. I wouldn't hesitate in staying there again or recommending the place to anyone !!

  • Reviewer: Cinthia

    Comments: Gina's place was very accurate to the images and was close to alot of great restaurants and the metro. I only had a few problems during my stay, however Gina was quick to address the issues, overall was a great trip.

  • Reviewer: Yuichi

    Comments: cosy but perfect for single person stay. love the area ! lots of art gallery around. there is 24H open restaurants, Rite Aid pharmacy just around the corner. Gina(host) is also wonderful well communication person.

    Comments: Very nice apartment and great neighborhood

  • Reviewer: Patty

    Comments: Gina was helpful, flexible, and quick to respond. The location was close to everything and I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere!

  • Reviewer: Szidonia

    Comments: I loved my stay at Gina's. She is a wonder host, extremely prompt in her communication, checking in to see that things are okay. The City had a big winter while I visited and Gina made sure that the cold was controlled in the apartment. She also sent me a detailed message with all kinds of recommendations for the area, including a real New York bagel shop I was keen on checking out. I love walking Manhattan, so I walked up and down from Gina's apartment, but the metro connection is excellent also. The apartment is a compact, cute little treasure, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you, Gina, for the attentive, warm hospitality!

  • Reviewer: Danielle

    Comments: First, Gina was an amazing communicator. She was very easy to talk to, and quick with her responses. Her apartment was cozy and comfortable. I also appreciated that there were sufficient toiletries (as well as extra's in the closet!) Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here, and I would absolutely stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Jamen

    Comments: Gina's place was great! - clean, efficient, quiet. Location in Chelsea was just what we wanted. Short walk to Chelsea Market. Gina was excellent, good communication. Would stay again.

  • Reviewer: Jenny

    Comments: It was a very pleasant stay at Gina’s place. Chelsea is such a great area and living in Chelsea kinda gives me a “sex and the city” vibe. Love it!!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: OTTIMO NIDO PER CHI DEVE VENIRE A LAVORARE A NYC PER BREVI PERIODI. PULIZIA E CURA DEI DETTAGLI SONO I PUNTI DI FORZA DI GINA OLTRE AD ESSERE UN HOST PREMUROSO E ATTENTO ALLE NECESSITA' DEL SUO GUEST. BRAVA GINA! OTTIMO RAPPORTO VALUE FOR MONEY E GRANDE FACILITA' NEI RAPPORTI.

  • Reviewer: Mark

    Comments: The apartment is as shown, but best for one on a business trip than two who wish to hang around during the day. It is certainly compact but very clean and great location. It is on the ground level, so noise can be a bit of an issue if you are a sensitive sleeper.

  • Reviewer: Nada

    Comments: Gina’s place was wonderful, cute and cozy and in a great location. Exactly as described and very quick and easy check in. Great communication at any time and always willing to help. The onily weird thing was that the listing had a 1pm check out (and in my trips section still says 1, I made sure to triple check) but was told it was 12 the night before so that threw me off a little but otherwise everything was great.

  • Reviewer: Alastair

    Comments: The apartment is located on a pretty tree-lined street, walking distance from multiple lines on the subway on the west side. The layout is really nice and homely and despite being street level it’s really quiet at night. Gina was so fast with responses, I would stay there next time I’m in NYC for sure

  • Reviewer: Mary

    Comments: Hostess is excellent. She has thought of everything. Communication was A plus. She made arrival and leaving very easy. Her recommendations as to nearby cafes and restaurants were very helpful. Coffee and diners within one block. The apartment is located in a lively neighborhood Very easy to catch cabs or Uber’s or Lyft. The apartment is small but yet has a full size tub. The apartment was super clean and it was stocked with coffee and tea which I appreciated. I walk with a cane. It being at street level was important to me. Excellent cable and internet. Highly recommend.

  • Reviewer: Martin

    Comments: Perfect location, perfect size for one or two people looking to take a trip to the city.

  • Reviewer: Sue

    Comments: Great location, great communication. Studio is small but has everything you need and the location is great. Perfect for 1 person or a couple. Great neighborhood.

  • Reviewer: Cat

    Comments: Gina's place is in a nice neighborhood and on the first floor (no lugging bags upstairs!). Very quiet and comfortable. Within walking distance to lots of shops and the subway.

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: This little space was a perfect jumping-off point for the meetings and errands I had in the city. Coming back to Chelsea at night really felt like coming home - lots of amenities, friendly street life, comfortable bed . . . Picking up and dropping off keys was convenient and well-explained. Communication was lighting fast, including responses to specific questions about NYC advice. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, G!

  • Reviewer: Gabrielle

    Comments: Gina’s place is in the most fantastic location in Chelsea. It was perfect for a solo traveller and was well-appointed with washing machine / dryer and steamer, kitchenette with fridge, toaster, kettle, coffee maker and mini gas stove. Gina was great to communicate with and sent me an awesome list of recommendations in the area. It’s super close to the High line and I walked along the high line daily to my conference at the Javits centre. Unfortunately the radiator was too hot and hard to turn down / off. It’s right next to the bed so sometimes I had to compensate by turning on the aircon to sleep at night. The key pick up and drop off is a few blocks away.

  • Reviewer: Jerrica

    Comments: I stayed 5 nights in Gina's modern, comfortable studio. As a female traveling alone, it was important to me to feel safe walking around the neighborhood alone, and I definitely did, even at night. The studio is compact but has everything you need, it was clean and the perfect place for a single traveler. The location is amazing- High Line Park is 2 blocks away, as is 24 hr drugstores and many restaurants. 5 short blocks to Chelsea Market. Metro stop was few blocks away, loads of bus stops, and easy pick up spot for Uber pick up. If you're into walking, it's walking distance to so many different areas it all took me 15-30 min. It's an absolutely wonderful area to stay especially if you have already been to NYC a few times and want to go/do things more that the locals do! I only had 1 issue during my stay, and Gina tried her best to resolve it. Unfortunately it couldn't be resolved till the end of my stay, but Gina was kind and considerate, and had quick communication. She also has great tips for places to eat or go to if you need that. I would love to stay here again and would highly recommend!

  • Reviewer: Eileen

    Comments: All those reviews got it just right! Great location, and the place is just as described/pictured. Sparkling clean. Loved the bed, loved the shower, loved the neighborhood! Gina responds quickly. Check in and out was easy and straightforward.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: Gina was an excellent host. The apartment was exactly as pictured: petite but highly functional, clean, modern and a very pleasant place to stay in a beautiful neighborhood. When there was a slight hiccup involving Gina's Super insisting on doing work on her apartment (albeit at a convenient time during the late morning), Gina responded with appropriate dismay (she was not made aware of the work) and even went as far as refunding me a portion of my rental payment as a courtesy for my troubles. Excellent communication and responses. Very cozy apartment. Highly recommend, especially just for one!

  • Reviewer: Wim

    Comments: Excellent space in great location

  • Reviewer: Kathy

    Comments: Perfect for one person. Everything you need in the flat. Gina was an excellent communicator. Great location!

  • Reviewer: Alex

    Comments: Gina's place is really stylish and cute. It's in a frankly perfect location in Manhattan (an easy walk into Midtown, and really close to the High line and Chelsea market). Gina is very thoughtful and communicates extremely quickly - it was a real pleasure to stay in her lovely apartment. Thank you so much for being such a considerate host!

  • Reviewer: Angela

    Comments: Gina’s spot could not be more perfect and quaint. Would most definitely stay here again. She delievered quick communication and wonderful nearby recommendations. The location of the space is perfect for walking around the city, easy access to subways, and so close to tons of great eateries! The apartment itself was so clean and cute too. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

  • Reviewer: Selumar

    Comments: Great location, lovely home, great facilities. Very clean and tidy.

  • Reviewer: Rena

    Comments: This was one of the best Airbnb Experiences I ever had. The apartment was exactly as described. Perfect for my needs. One the first floor, clean, adorable. It's small - but that's New York. It's perfect for a solo traveler - especially on there on business. I had everything I needed - a full kitchen, there was coffee and tea and other (more than) basic necessities already in the kitchen, a small fridge, coffee maker, toaster oven, even a microwave and a stovetop - and the most exciting part of all - a washing machine! Which in New York is as rare as a unicorn. I used the machine a few times, it's a washer and dryer and it was so helpful to be able to do laundry while I was in the city without having to send it out. Everything in the apartment is clean, and well designed. The bed was super comfortable. There is air conditioning and heat. The apartment is also very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The area as adorable - lots of really great high quality restaurants and shops, a grocery store one block away, places to get your nails done - coffee shops, cafes, everything you need in New York. It is about a 5 minute walk away from the subway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

  • Reviewer: Brad

    Comments: The apartment is super cute, clean, and cozy. It has all the basic amenities with extra personal touches. Upon arrival, you quickly get a true feeling of what it’s like to live on one of the quaintest blocks of Chelsea.

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: This is the second time I have stayed at Gina's apartment and I love it. It has everything you could possibly need while you are away and the location is amazing. Right near two subway lines and a nice walk to mid Town. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Natasha

    Comments: Really cute space that was sparkling clean and had loads of extras like towels and blankets. Even had a clothing steamer which I really appreciated and I actually found this to be the quietest place I’ve ever stayed at in NYC. Note: if you are not able-bodied or have a lot of heavy luggage, the keys are a couple blocks away. But the second set of keys and auto-lock doors made check out much easier than check in! Overall, very comfortable stay and Gina was always prompt to respond. Would stay again!

  • Reviewer: Naila

    Comments: I stayed at Gina’s for two weeks. Gina was quick to respond, super helpful with answering all my questions, shared an amazing list of things to do/places to go. The apt is a small studio and I was surprised to discover it had literally everything you would need and then some. Tons of sheets and towels! It is located in a very convenient spot in Chelsea - close to the subway, numerous restaurants (all of Gina’s suggestions were delish!), several convenience stores and so on. It is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the Meatpacking District, which lets you avoid having to go to the same places in super crowded Midtown. I had a great stay and would totally recommend staying at Gina’s! :)

    Comments: great location. very accommodating and responsive host. clean apartment. just what you need when staying in NY

  • Reviewer: Natalie

    Comments: True to phots; cozy and inviting

  • Reviewer: Marie

    Comments: Our stay in New York was a lot of fun. Gina's place in Chelsea was a cute, stylish little studio. The photos gave us a clear expectation of the space. There were dishes present for eating in, if we wanted. We enjoyed the coffee that was present for us in the mornings. Gina was quick to respond when I had questions before my visit. The hot water was immediate with the shower, and there were multiple shower toiletries available if needed. There was also a washer available with detergent and stain remover (which I did need at one point and was grateful for). The property is on the first floor, so the property has very easy access when bringing in luggage. There are several restaurants within a five minute walk (including a delicious bagel place around the corner where we had breakfast every day). The neighbors were also very quiet, we never heard anyone besides ourselves. And overall the property was very clean when were arrived. We never actually met or talked with Gina since she has efficiently set up check in to not require meeting anyone. There were a few things that were not ideal. Sleeping was not very comfortable. You could feel the bars of the metal platform bed through the mattress, and the mattress was sinking in between the bars. The window also provides very little protection from the elements. We visited in February, and the city was very cold at night. There is a sheet of plastic and a towel taped against the window to try and block off the elements, but there was still a consistent breeze from outside that was most noticeable at night if you were unlucky enough to be the person sleeping on the window side of the bed. There were several heaters in the place, and that helped, but it caused one half of you to be hot while the other half facing the window was cold. We actually opted to head home one night early because we were eager to sleep in our own bed.
