ON HIGHLINE! Private room & bath

Reviews

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: Wow, what a great location and wonderful, upscale condo in Chelsea, right next to the new Highline elevated park. Arthur is a remarkable Man, knowledgeable, friendly, warm-hearted and makes you feel at-home. You can use the living room, kitchen, etc., while viewing the high-line out the rear windows. The location is great for transportation access around the City by subway, bus or cab. Chelsea has become a hotbed of art, outdoor activities and of course you have the wonderful Joyce Theater nearby. The Red Cat is a great place to eat and have a drink, it's located downstairs. I will certainly visit Art's wonderful condo again and highly recommend it to others.

  Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the HighLine B & B and our host Arthur. If we had to live in NYC this is would be the place, it is centrally located, close for walks along the Hudson River and minutes to the subway and Chelsea. Our walk along the Highline (even in Winter) was breathtaking. Our Host was extremely helpful in navigating our way through the city, providing maps and great instructions. The accommodations were very comfortable and we felt welcomed and at home. A light breakfast with coffee and orange juice was available. We used the living room with the fireplace at night to unwind from the day. We would highly recommend a stay here and look forward to coming back in the future.

• Reviewer: Meredith

  Comments: Arthur & Ed are the consummate hosts. Their Chelsea space is beyond lovely: immaculately clean, stylish, centrally located and cozy. We felt at home from the moment we arrived and they were quick to lend us a hand at every turn, from restaurant recos to subway directions to colorful local history. Also, the mini flat screen in the bedroom was a great added touch. Can't recommend more - thanks again to our amazing hosts & new friends!

• Reviewer: Ginger

  Comments: This is the best apartment I've ever found on Airbnb and the host Arthur was wonderful! The room was very clean. The living room was very cozy and the entire apartment was very artistic. Arthur was very nice in offering help in every single way and even provided coffee and breakfast for us. The location is super because it's only 2 blocks away from subway and it's not noisy at all even though it's situated on the second floor in a commercial district. There are bars and restaurants just around the corner so eating out at late night is not a problem at all. I will definitely recommend this apartment to everyone!

  Comments: Nous avons passé une excellente semaine chez Ed et Arthur qui sont des hôtes accueillants, chaleureux et très intéressants, tout en restant très discrets. Leur appartement est vraiment confortable et nous nous y sommes sentis comme "chez nous". Il est bien situé dans un quartier intéressant et proche des transports. Nous recommandons cette adresse et nous y reviendrons sûrement ! -- We had great time in Art & Ed's apartment. They are lovely people, warming (we shared at least 2 time a glass of wine, had great discussions and they provided some good tips to visit the quarter), very interesting, but also very discrete. Their apartment is comfortable and we were there like at home. It's a very well situated (only 2 blocks away from the subway line A,C,E, 23rd street) and convenient apartment. This part of the city (Chealsy) is a newly renovated quarter full of art gallery and news spots very interesting like the High-line. We will definitely warmly recommend this apartment and will probably come back soon.

• Reviewer: Diane

  Comments: Having never used airbnb before we were slightly nervous but Arthur soon put paid to that. He was a brilliant communicator from the start and continued to be until our departure. His level of service was impeccable from the perfect directions to reach his place, to carrying our huge suitcases up the stairs, to the breakfast provided and the cheese and wine in the evenings over interesting conversation. The apartment is stunning. We had free reign over the living room, kitchen and bathroom and our room was adequate with 2 single beds. Arthur is in the process of renovating the apartment too with new carpets etc. so it will be even better on our return and a 5* establishment. We highly recommend a visit.

• Reviewer: Leah

  Comments: I honestly could not have asked for a better host for my first trip to NYC! Arthur (and Ed) are gifted hosts, and made my father and I as comfortable as could be. The space was immaculately clean, and they even took it upon themselves to change our sheets and waste baskets halfway through our stay. There was always coffee in the morning and a few breakfast items so you could quickly run out the door and see the city. Ed even picked up some soy milk for me, which was above and beyond the call of duty! They are highly perceptive, and I have no doubt that they effortlessly adapt to each new guest and his or her unique needs. When I arrived, Arthur took me on a tour of Chelsea and gave me some pointers on how best to get around the city, as well as a few maps and restaurant/landmark recommendations. Arthur truly will be involved as much (or as little) as you'd like him to be, and he and Ed were an absolute joy to be around--great attitudes, highly knowledgeable, infinitely helpful. The apartment was in a great location, near subway and bus lines, and surprisingly peaceful. When I told Arthur that my father snored, he quickly pointed out that there were ear plugs and a sound machine in the room to help me out. Literally a life saver. Overall, I can't say enough wonderful things.

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: An oasis in the middle of Chelsea! The apartment is just as expected; spacious, cozy, very relaxing and private and location just can't be beaten. With a full view of the high line! We were greeted upon arrival with a cheeseboard, wine and a blazing fire. Ed and Arthur proved to be excellent hosts and helped us in any way they could to navigate our way around. It made our stay in New York all the more relaxing and fun. We were sad to leave! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them and will return.

• Reviewer: Wei

  Comments: Arthur saved my trip and I won't stay anywhere else next time I'm in NY. He went out his ways to help out my problem with Airbnb (despite which I still need to thank Airbnb for meeting them) and made my stay in NY a perfect ending for this trip. Their panhouse apartment is awesomely located. you can see the high line park from the window, and bus stop right across the street, subway station 2 blocks away. They have 2 very proud cats, who don't bother anyone. The bathroom is separate and super clean. The bedroom is really cosy with 2 beds, perfect for a couple. I love the big kitchen, where I had the most interesting conversations. Mostly l listened because they tell great stories. I highly recommend Arthur's place as your NY stop for knowing both the people and the city there.

• Reviewer: Marie

  Comments: Sublime is the word to describe Arthur's apartment! I spent four nights there with my brother and I wouldn't go anywhere else for a future trip in New York. I never thought I could find such a large, quiet and beautiful place to stay in New York. Arthur is an amazing guest! He welcomed us with beer and wine, provided more than everything we needed for our stay, and offered us a lot of really good recommendations and interesting stories. We had a terrific time!

• Reviewer: Marian

  Comments: Our trip to NYC was amazing, thanks to the wonderful stay at Arthur (and Eds) appartement! It was very clean, quit and the location is perfect (next to the wonderful High line, near to bus&metro and a lot of nice restaurants at walking distance.) I think there are no better hosters than Arthur and Ed! So friendly, shared everything with use, made great reservations for bars and restaurants and really opend there home for us. If you want an unforgatteble trip to NYC than you must stay here, I can recommend it to everybody!!!

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: We (my 14 year old son and I) received 5-star service while staying at Arthur & Ed's place on 10th Avenue. It is a wonderful location, the apartment is super-clean and Arthur & Ed did everything possible to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They are a generous couple. The room was cosy, we had our own bathroom - and we also practically had the kitchen and lounge to ourself too! Despite Arthur & Ed's giving us the utmost privacy, we became friends and hope to see them again another time. What more can you say than that?

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: For a first stay in NYC, that was a great one! It'll be difficult to find more awesome guests than Arthur & Ed. They set the bar very high. First, the location: Chelsea district ideally located for all south Manhattan points of interest (from Freedom Tower to Central Park). The flat itself is really great: private room and bathroom with a nice view on the Highline. The other rooms are nice too ... and the rooftop! Not an high one like on other buildings but still nice to enjoy. Concerning Arthur and Ed, they gave us so many addresses where to enjoy the city as New Yorkers. We had the opportunity to enjoy some dinners with them and their friends, yet another way to enjoy good time with locals. They were very keen to answer to any of our questions, discuss about the city, ... To sum up, the next trip to NYC should lead to Arthur & Ed's once more!

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: My stay at Arthur and Ed's beautiful home was the best I've ever had on Airbnb! The apartment itself is incredble, and located in one of the most scenic areas of New York. Arthur and Ed made the trip, though! They were the two most accommodating and kind hosts I've ever had, and went out of their way to not only make sure I felt comfortable but to give me incredible tips and tricks as to how best to settle into New York. Ed even made me a list of apartments for me to look at for when I move there. Now that I've been to Arthur and Ed's, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!

• Reviewer: Lauriane

  Comments: Encore un grand MERCI à Arthur, Ed, Pollux & Castor pour cet agréable séjour ! Merci pour cet accueil si chaleureux et votre gentillesse. Si nous revenons un jour sur New York, il est certain que nous reviendrons aussi chez vous !!! On s'y sent vraiment comme à " la maison ". De plus, le quartier de Chelsea est très sympathique et il y a beaucoup de vie. Merci pour tout et bonne continuation. A très bientôt. Corinne, Nathalie et Lauriane.

• Reviewer: Sean&Lyn

  Comments: Art & Ed's penthouse is amazing. We couldn't ask for a better place to start our holiday in New York City. Their apartment is just next to the famous Highline and within the vicinity of the historical part of Chelsea. Art & Ed have beautifully styled the interior and filled their home with so much character. Art & Ed are really pleasant and accommodating that we felt so much at home as guest. We are so thankful to have known them and to have the privilege to share a place in their home. Thanks guys!

• Reviewer: Jo Anne

  Comments: What a fabulous find! We recently moved from the City & were looking for a place to stay that would feel more like "home" again. Well, we found it! We need return to Manhattan often for medical appointments, theater, opera, meeting with friends, etc. This is the perfect solution. Arthur and Ed are the most welcoming of hosts. Our room was comfortable and quiet. They even obtained reservations for us at a popular restaurant! An assortment of breakfast foods was available to us. We give On Highline our highest recommendation! Thank you Arthur and Ed.

• Reviewer: Nef

  Comments: Although my stay with Arthur and Ed was extremely short I appreciate their flexibility with my time of arrival. Upon arrival I was taken on a tour of their beautiful house. The room that I stayed in was immaculate as was the bathroom. I am so grateful for the hospitality and conversation. Would definitely recommend!

• Reviewer: Jane

  Comments: Arthur Tang couldn't be a more delightful and accommodating host. Their home is gorgeous and comfortable and in the perfect location.

• Reviewer: Karen

  Comments: Arthur and Ed were wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and oriented in the city. They also gave us some great tips about good local places to eat and visit. Our room had 2 very comfortable single beds. Each against a tall window overlooking the High Line! We stayed two nights, took in the city, walked a ton, ate and had drinks at some of Art and Ed's recommended spots. We loved our trip!

• Reviewer: Xavier

  Comments: Art and Ed are exceptional hosts and sharing with them for my first trip to New York City has made my experience truly amazing! (this was also my first AirBnB experience!) Their flat is really well located with regards to public transport. It is very nicely thought out architecturally and arranged. The beds are very comfortable and everything has to be positive in all honesty! The area is rather quiet and very arty-like with galleries and slightly avant-garde buildings. Art and Ed were happy to guide me through parts of the city, help me plan my days etc. They are very kind and considerate, we had lots of interesting chats at breakfast and other times when going out together. I would not even think of any other accommodation when I return to NYC! I met Art and Ed as strangers and we left as friends!

• Reviewer: Fritz

  Comments: Arthur was a very accommodating host. He's so well-versed on NYC, especially the Westside, that it's like having a free tour guide with your room. For couples to note, the room is two separate single beds.

• Reviewer: Angela

  Comments: The apartment was exactly as described online - the room was great for our week long stay, our private bathroom was beautiful and spotlessly clean, the kitchen contained everything one could wish for, and breakfast was super (in particular the coffee ;-)). The location of the apartment in Chelsea, right next to the High Line, is absolutely perfect to explore Manhattan and the rest of NYC. If you plan to extend your trip, the Megabus station with many destinations in the North-East (we traveled to Philadelphia for $7!) is only a 10 minute-walk away. But all these comments on the room would not suffice to guide any future guests with respect to their decision for this place. Maybe more important are Art and Ed who were so much more than AirBnB hosts. They welcomed us like family/friends and were more than happy to share their experiences and recommendations for restaurants, bars, museums and all the little special things that you will never find in any travel guide. Thus, they helped us immeasurably to get the most from our lovely week in New York - thanks again for this! We had the impression that we arrived as guests and left as friends, a truly wonderful experience. Angela & Chris

• Reviewer: Guillermina

  Comments: I just cannot say enough good things about my stay at Ed and Arthur's place! They are both very caring and super friendly. Arthur teaches at the University I graduated from! so great! They both kept in touch as I was working my way to New York and gave me detail information on how to take transport. Ed, the bakeries you recommended were amazing! I look forward to my next visit to New York and a stay at Highline.

• Reviewer: Erwin

  Comments: What can we say? Our new friends Art and Ed created a soothing and tranquil atmosphere right amidst the throb of an exciting urban surround. 'Art' and 'Ed' are apt names for these gracious hosts - they possess true art for hospitality and are an educative source for the history and personality of NYC. Our stay was met with thoughtful anticipation of all our needs - no matter how trivial - and a smiling enthusiasm for exceeding them. We had complete privacy when we desired and thrilling humorous contact when we wanted. We could not have enjoyed such ease, comfort, privacy, good cheer and insight in this city staying anywhere else.

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Our stay at ON HIGHLINE exceeded all expectations. The layout of Arthur Tang's house lends itself well for the privacy of the guest quarters but still offering full access to his beautifully furnished large living room and kitchen. The sleeping area is completely quiet and it looks out onto the Highline Park, an amazing civic accomplishment, where I ran every other day. Our five stars apply not only to the location and the amenities of the place, but also, and especially, to our host himself. Arthur is an interesting and multi-faceted man. He's very knowledgeable about the area and conscientious about his guests' comforts. This was our first time to use AirBnB, and we could not have been happier. We look forward to repeating this experience. David and Jim

• Reviewer: Carol

  Comments: I realise I need to post this review in two parts - the apartment and the host The apartment is stylish, elegant and there is plenty of room to relax in the kitchen and the lounge room, the bedroom is spacious and the beds are really comfortable. The location is drop-dead fabulous!! Close to the subway and cross town bus and in the heart of lovely Chelsea. We were there in summer and arriving home (yes it felt like home) each afternoon was like walking into a cool inviting haven. The hosts - how can you review people that are now your friends? Ed and Art are generous hosts and lovely men. They are intelligent, funny and insightful and over a glass of wine we shared many fascinating stories and a lot of laughs. They know the city inside out and provided lots of local knowledge. With Ed and Art you will never feel like like a number (or a $$) you will feel like part of the family. We already miss them. If you want an authentic and memorable New York experience start by booking your accommodation here!!

• Reviewer: Claudia

  Comments: Staying at Arthur and Ed's house was an unforgettable experience. It was not just a rent a roon at airbnb. It was much more than that: socializing with loving people, polite, fun, caring and know how to care very well. They provided me with tips in town that I would never find out without their help. Left wonderful friends in New York and for sure I will be with them again. Guys, you are great!

• Reviewer: Diana

  Comments: Arthur and edward were extremely nice to us. Much more than we expected. They helped us a lot on this, out first visit to NYC.they know a lot of history and all their advices about restaurants and places to visit were wonderful. The appartment is incredible, the room, the bathroom and kitchen are beautiful. We surely recomend anyone to go there!

• Reviewer: Lee

  Comments: I had a GREAT time staying with Arthur and Ed in their lovely Highline Home, which was all they said it would be and more. They could not have been more hospitable. Five of five stars for them, their home, and the popular and artistic Chelsea district. One of the best features of my stay there was the ease with which I could access the Highline at any time up to 11 PM. Try this special urban walk on a warm evening with a bright moon and you will be hooked! Lee

• Reviewer: Anne

  Comments: This is a great space. The whole apartment is lovely and very conveniently located. It was nice being right by the Highline. There's plenty to do nearby and it is easy to get east west and north south from this location. Arthur was away during my stay, but he is an immediate email responder and made everything easy in terms of travel planning. Ed and Lea were most accommodating. As others have mentioned, Ed has a profound love of NYC and a delightful story teller. The only thing I would mention as a potential drawback is that they do have two cats who are lovely, Castor and Pollox, but people with cat allergies should be aware of that. My own allergies are minor, but was still affected.

• Reviewer: Dmitry

  Comments: It was our first time in NY and we are so lucky and happy that we had a chance to meet Arthur and Ed and stay at their fabulous pent-house! Their place is really nice and clean. Best location in NY, close to everything! And at the same time it is also in a quite spot, where you can enjoy a deep sleep, which is kind of rare in NY. Art and Ed are very kind and will do their best to make your stay in NY perfect. They helped us with the surroundings and gave wonderful tips how to experience the local lifestyle in NY. They also helped us with our next trips to other parts in the US, very helpful tips! Thanks to Art and Ed, our first impression of NY is fantastic!

• Reviewer: Sylvia

  Comments: We had an absolute wonderful time staying at Arthur and Ed's place. Ed was such a welcoming host, making us feel at home straight away. Also very accomodating about dropping off our luggage early which made it easy for us. The room was lovely, super soft sheets with lots of thoughtful little touches like a personalised map of the city, a DVD set on the history of New York and even a white noise machine. Beats staying at a hotel any day!

• Reviewer: Sabrina

  Comments: Lukas and me enjoyed our stay absolutely! Everything was fantastic organized and everyone was really helpful and welcoming to us. The appartement and our room were great. We can recommend this Airbnb absolutely!

• Reviewer: Tama&Giora

  Comments: Art and Ed are very congenial, hospitable and go out of their way to assist. The location is very convenient and the environment appealing. The room, while not large is pleasant and clean, so is the bathroom. The room is in fact situated inside Art and Eds's apartment, with other participants. While this did not disturb us, this fact is not clear from the advance description on your site.

• Reviewer: Anne Cé

  Comments: Arthur and Ed are great hosts. They are very friendly and very pleasant to talk to. They have given me great advices about what is to do around. The room is very comfy, the bathroom is great. All is very clean. I slept very well in the bed. The window to the room is looking to the highline. It is not only green and pleasant to look at, it also means that, for New York, it is not too loud at night. To sum it up, I really felt like home and I hope the room will be free when I come back next time! Oh yes, and Arthur speaks perfect French which was really helpful as I was too tired to speak English when I arrived... :)

• Reviewer: George

  Comments: Where do we begin!!!! The place is even better in person, very very clean, and very spacious! We had a very comfy stay in a great location! Ed was a great host! Giving us a tour of the home and showing us where we should eat and what we should see. The home is lovely! You won't regret it one bit! I HIGHLY recommend anyone to stay here! We will definetly be returning here for our yearly NY trip!

• Reviewer: Luis

  Comments: I can only say that the hosts are the best! I do feel that is at home! "Your house is my house" he he Thanks ED! The house is beautiful, full of art and literature in each corner, a unique location, the room is beautiful in every detail, certainly is a place where you feel good! Strongly recommended!

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: This was my daughter and my first trip to New York. We LOVED the location!!! Away from the commotion of Times Square and close enough to the subway for our daily trips around New York. The apartment was clean and Ed and Art were the perfect hosts. They made suggestions of sites we might want to visit, and restaurants to go to. Thanks again to both of them for making us feel so comfortable in their home :)

• Reviewer: Yan

  Comments: Location. Location. Location. About as good as it gets in Chelsea. Literally next to the High Line, a couple of blocks to the subway, a great restaurant (Red Cat) downstairs, a friendly wine bar (Drunken Horse) next door, a cool art gallery two doors down, walking distance to everywhere I wanted to go, etc., etc. The house, room and bath were all immaculately clean and stylishly decorated. Plus Art and Ed were fantastic hosts -- about the most down to earth Manhattanites I've ever met. Overall, a great stay!

• Reviewer: Edwin & Dionne

  Comments: Our experience at Eds and Arts place was great! We stayed almost a week at their place. From the beginning, we were welcomed and we felt ''at home''. Both hosts are very helpful to show their city and tell about their experiences. At the mornings, we got the real American breakfast, made by them selves and that was lovely. The location could not be better. 5 to 10 minutes walk to blue and red lines and 15 minutes walk to the Chelsea market! We definitely recommend staying with these friendly people! When we were back home we missed them even a little.

• Reviewer: Katy

  Comments: Our stay with Arthur and Ed was in a word: perfect. They are gracious hosts and great people. We enjoyed everything about our stay and it could not have worked out better. Thank you Art and Ed-- we will definitely be keeping in touch and will see you guys again! Have the warmest holidays, and much happiness in the new year. Katy and Jerry

• Reviewer: Solène

  Comments: Arthur and Edouard are great hosts! Very friendly and welcoming, they like talking about their city and have lots of nice places to recommend. The apartment is wonderful, super clean and very well decorated (with a huge christmas tree in december!). Especially, this is the perfect location to visit all places. I fully recommend these hosts and flat for a trip to NYC.

• Reviewer: Lynn

  Comments: Art and Ed's home is beautiful and welcoming. We had a short time to actually spend getting to know our host and it was time well spent. I felt right at home from the beginning. I would highly recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Mikhail

  Comments: The week we spent in the Ed and Arthur’s house gave us great pleasure. The room is very cozy. The location is great, it is very close to Manhattan's tourist attractions and close to buses and the subway. Ed and Arthur gave us valuable advice and told us a lot about Manhattan's history, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Ed and Arthur’s house for all who would like to spend time in Manhattan!

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: My sister & I spent two nights with Art & Ed, and wished we could've stayed longer. Their place was everything we expected it to be and more. Their home was clean and beautifully appointed; the bedroom was comfortable, quiet, and we both slept well. But, it was the "lagniappe" (that something extra) that made our visit there so special: Art & Ed were very attentive, warm, and generous with their time and space. They made our stay in Chelsea one we will always remember. Thank you both very much!! We look forward to seeing you again sometime.

• Reviewer: Annie

  Comments: We arrived to a crackling fire, a beautifully decorated tree, and candle light throughout the spacious and elegant living room. This is a really gorgeous home, in a great location, which would cost a fortune in it's entirety but is available for the price of a modest bedroom. Ed and Art could not have made us feel more welcome. They are the consummate New York hosts full of knowledge and suggestions and were so generous with their time and hospitality. We had more than everything we could possibly need or want in our brief stay and feel we left with two new NY friends.

• Reviewer: Sharon

  Comments: Art and Ed's home is a beautiful, classic NYC brownstone with high ceilings, tall windows, fireplace, and large kitchen. It is centered in the heart of Chelsea, in the heart of the art gallery district. And the new darling of NYC, the High Line, struts across the back windows of this home. You are surrounded in beauty and right in the midst of Chelsea. Art and Ed are gracious people. Throughout our stay, they gave us a mixture of privacy and entertainment. They are storytellers and art collectors. In front of their fireplace, I learned from their stories and from their art books the history of many successful artists. This was a perfect segue from these stories and out to the galleries right around the corner. Art and Ed are kind as well. My husband came down with a sinus cold while staying with them. Ed made his famous chicken soup - twice - for my husband. Art and Ed are lovely people and this is a lovely place to stay.

• Reviewer: Cecile

  Comments: Great location with direct acces to High Line, nice neighbourhood, very nice hosts that can speak French :-) and give great tips, the house is very cute and well maintained, high quality bed. All you need for a perfect stay in magic New York city. I was there 3 nights with my friend and two on my own.

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: A match made in heaven. Art & Ed go out of their way to make you welcome and comfortable. As an older couple, we liked the separate twin beds which were very comfortable though the room is small. The private bath was clean and stocked with quality products. Lots of variety in breakfast products, and free run of the well equipped kitchen. We spent evenings enjoying a fire in the living room and talking to our hosts. Chelsea is a vibrant neighborhood, close to public transportation and many restaurants. Our bedroom overlooked the Highline, the old elevated railway which has been converted to a lovely walkway. Our hosts were generous, thoughtful and very helpful suggesting places to go and things to do. This was truly a 5 star experience.

• Reviewer: Benedicte

  Comments: Cet appartement est parfait! En plein coeur d'un Chelsea anime, au bord de la High Line, et entoure de restaurants de qualite, d'une boulangerie (Sullivan) a tomber par terre, et le tout manhattan a portee de main... La decoration est superbe, on sent des hommes de gout derriere le choix des livres et des oeuvres d'art contemporaines. La chambre est parfaite et sa salle de bains attenante privee respecte notre intimite. Ce qui fait le charme special de cet endroit est bien sur, la presence de Arthur et Ed. A la fois discrets et conviviaux, chaleureux et genereux, ils sont des hotes attentionnes qui ont fait de notre sejour un moment memorable. A bientot!

• Reviewer: Giulia

  Comments: Everything as described. The whole apartment has a nice and cozy atmosphere. Ed and Arthur are doing everything to make you stay an unforgettable experience. If you love Chelsea, this is the place to be!

  Comments: Great base in Chelsea, New York. Easy access to tourist sites close to subway and buses. Very comfortable apartment with good facilities including breakfast, log fires, private bathroom. Whole experience significantly enhanced by the generosity, knowledge and kindness of Arthur and Ed. Great recommendations to places, restaurants, etc. Would love to stay again!

• Reviewer: Hans

  Comments: My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Arthur and Ed´s apartment! They where super friendly, very charming and really easy going. Being their guests felt very natural. They gave us many great tips and restaurant recommendations. They made our first airbnb experience perfect! About the apparent: The room was very clean and cosy, with a nice view to the high line. The bathroom was modern, clean and very nice. The location is really perfect. Lots of good restaurants, the Chelsea Market and a lots of nice galleries. We really hope to stay here again!

• Reviewer: Rosa

  Comments: Very cozy and great location in Chelsea.

• Reviewer: Caroline

  Comments: Art and Ed couldn't be better hosts. We arrived tired and hungry after a long journey from Australia to be greeted with a roaring fire, two very welcoming hosts and the offer of dinner! We had a great evening and this set us up perfectly for the rest of our stay. The apartment itself was beautiful: great location (quiet and central), very comfortable, and Art and Ed are amazingly thoughtful with all the little extras they do for you. We would both love to stay there again.

• Reviewer: Martina

  Comments: Me and my sister had the most fantastic of times staying at Arthur & Ed's place when visiting NYC. We were greeted so warmly, the room and rest of apartment were everything claimed to be and more, and we were so comfortable throughout our stay. Arthur and Ed definitely both helped to make our experience in New York memorable; sharing history and stories and recommending good spots for food, coffees and art. This in addition to making sure we had everything we needed around the house and making us feel very at home. We were sad to leave and look forward to going back to New York and would choose this stay again without any doubt!

• Reviewer: Camille Et Marc

  Comments: Je crois sincèrement qu'il était impossible de trouver mieux que chez Arthur et Ed. l'appartement est très agréable, à l'image des propriétaires, qui sont d'une gentillesse incroyable. De plus leurs conseils sont très avisés, et utiles (visites, resto etc...) On se sent immédiatement très à l'aise chez eux, à tel point qu'on en oublie presque de sortir visiter cette ville sublime. Quand je vais revenir à NY, je ne vais pas hésiter une seule seconde, et c'est chez eux que je reviendrai.

• Reviewer: Lívia

  Comments: Have stayed in the apartment of Arhtur and Ed was just amazing! we had the service of a luxury hotel with the personal touch and warmth that both have! they gave us valuable tips and had an immense care before and during our stay. I have only praise for these two! thanks a lot!

• Reviewer: Janice

  Comments: You will be treated well and be very happy if you get to stay on the Highline with Art and Ed. Their listing is deservedly popular because of the location which provides great access to the entire city from the N-S Blue Line subway stop and the cross-town #23 bus just around the corner. The Chelsea neighborhood itself is great, especially if you like galleries and want to explore the fabulous Highline (the best thing to happen to NYC since Central Park). But the real treat here are your hosts, Ed and Arthur, who do everything and more to make your stay the best it can be. From the beginning we were treated like friends rather than lodgers. They were generous with information, fun stories, kitchen use, recommendations and their time. For us, always, our travel experiences are shaped by the people we meet along the way. Getting to know Art and Ed was one of the highlights of five fabulous days in NYC.

• Reviewer: Bob

  Comments: Our recent stay with Ed & Arthur far exceeded our highest expectations. Every attempt was made to make our visit exceptional. Prior to my wife and I coming they sought out what we might need or want to make us most comfortable. Our room overlooked the scenic HighLine walkway and we had access to their spacious living room area & kitchen. Ed was a most gracious and entertaining host (Art was away) who was always available to help. We never felt more at ease and comfortable. During our stay we also had a lot of privacy. Almost felt liked we lived there. Everything about Ed & Arthur's airbnb was well organized, very clean, efficient, and personable. We now won't stay anywhere else in NYC!

• Reviewer: Katie

  Comments: Art and Ed are lovely, they really know how to make guests feel welcome. The apartment is so close to the Highline (a real highlight and retreat from the pace of the City), which makes the location wonderful. The room is very comfortable, the bathroom total luxury, and the rest if the apartment is gorgeous too. The hosts' living space is upstairs which gives them, as well as guests, plenty of privacy. Everything was wonderful regarding communication and checking in/out, all easy and stress-free. The breakfast was a welcome touch too! Perfect for a slower paced start to the busy NYC days. My stay couldn't have been better and I was really glad to be able to sit down with Art on my last morning and have a great chat. I'd definitely visit again. No hesitation!

  Comments: My daughter and I had lovely time staying with Art and Ed. The room was perfect for us and the air conditioning kept us cool as the temperature increased. Our private bathroom was very welcome and the breakfast provided was excellent. We used the subway frequently and the apartment was only a few minutes walk away and the High-Line took us to one of our favourite areas of town. The boys were very gracious and even went out and bought us mint tea ! A great experience.

  Comments: Location eccellente: bus sotto casa e metro a due isolati, nello stesso blocco si trovano le più belle gallerie d'arte di Chelsea ed a 20 metri dalle finestre della camera vi è la splendida High Line. L'appartamento è bellissimo e la camera ed il bagno (privato) assolutamente confortevoli. Ed ed Art sono simpatici ed affabili. Io e mia moglie abbiamo soggiornato per due settimane e, nella seconda, assenti Ed ed Art, è subentrata Kim, una bella e gentile signora, alla quale far riferimento. Già nel primo giorno a casa, in Italia, mia moglie rimpiange le luci soffuse e la musica soft presenti nel soggiorno tutta la notte. È stata la nostra prima esperienza Airbnb e non sappiamo immaginare una sistemazione migliore. Un grazie sincero ad Ed, Art e Kim. Luciana e Renzo

  Comments: A great location in a relaxed yet vibrant part of New York. Very close to the blue metro line A,C,E, ideal to connect directly with JFK Airport, World Trade Center, 42nd Street, various Broadway sections and Times Square, Central Park and the Museum of Natural History, The MoMa, 5th Avenue and Rockefeller Center... The high line, outstanding example of urban architecture and art, is right around the corner, allowing wonderful strolls down to Chelsea Market. Pharmacy, shops and restaurants, and the fascinating waterside are all nearby. Ed & Art have prepared a nice colored map allowing you to find the right way to reach the most important places. Their home is nice and cozy, the hosts are accommodating and relaxed, their cats sweet and quiet. The stairs are steep and narrow, take you time with bulky overseas luggage. Air conditioning and fans in every room work perfectly and 24/7 round... but probably Europeans will have hard times to get used to the freezer effect and constant buzz (which is the norm all over the city, though, including trains, busses, boats). The room is not sterile or completely empty as in a hotel room, so their stuff and your stuff just look like being part of one family. (Just make sure you don't leave some socks or take away one of their coats). The mattresses were perfect for us, not too hard not too soft, with a thicker and a thinner pillow for those who the perfect height. Bathroom is all black without windows (could be claustrophobic for somebody) but well organized, especially a with spacious shower. What you need is available as in any real home, including books and brochures about the city, spare USA plug adapters, disposable razor blades or some aspirin. Should we come back to NYC sure we come back to Ed&Art, and will definitively recommend it to all our friends.

• Reviewer: Wendy

  Comments: If you want to be centrally located in manhattan - If you want to stay with people who are truly interested in you having a fulfilling and low stress vacation - you really should consider Art and Ed's place in the heart of Chelsea. It is right on the Chelsea HighLine, which is a terrific addition to a city that doesn't even need more reasons to visit! Art and Ed could not have been more helpful to us. It is like having a concierge in-house. If we had a question, we had a human version of (Hidden by Airbnb) to check in with! Also - if cleanliness is important to you - this location will make you so happy! It also feels great to not worry about your personal belongings as you do in hotels. If you have not tried this sort of housing in NYC, Art and Ed's place is a perfect start.

  Comments: Wir haben sehr gute Erfahrungen mit dem Gastgeber und der Unterkunft gemacht. Es gibt nichts, was es zu bemängeln gäbe. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und mit vielen Tipps für unseren Besuch ausgestattet. Das Zimmer und das Bad waren sehr sauber; alles, was man benötigt, war vorhanden - Hotelstandard! Super! Die Lage der Unterkunft ist top - von JFK aus kommt man problemlos mit einmal umsteigen hin, auch viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind bequem mit der Subway zu erreichen, die nur wenige Minuten Fußmarsch entfernt ist. Zwei Buslinien fahren direkt vor dem Haus und die Highline liegt direkt hinter dem Haus. Am Hudson River oder dem schönen Chelsea Market ist man ebenfalls in wenigen Minuten! Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!!!

  Comments: Me and my boyfriend stayed for 4 nights. It was really awesome! The flat is fantastic and really quit for a central NYC Manhatten place. The bedroom is on the backside with the High Line directly behind it. Really nice! The room and beds are cosy, your own bathroom next to it very convenient. It was really great to have some food you could eat for breakfast (joghurt, banana, toast, jam, butter, sweets, orangejuice and coffee). So we were ready for the day every day without searching for breakfast. Unfortunately Art & Ed went on vacation, so we only had the chance to talk to them one night. Arthur gave us some exciting information about the city and advice what things to do and how to get there. If we had more time we probably would have learned more about them and their interesting family history and some more insider facts about NYC. Nevertheless there where a lot of infos on the wall & fridge in the kitchen as well. We were lucky to meet Ed's nice niece Kim. She was there when we arrived and helped us a lot! Pollux & Castor are really shy at the beginning and later they got used to us as guests, but you should really close the door. Pets are curious, but who is not. All in all we could not have a better place to stay in Manhatten!

  Comments: Where to begin? The apartment is in a great location, convenient for many attractions, not far from the subway and so convenient for the Highline. There are plenty of restaurants and bars starting right next to the apartment. The apartment itself is lovely, very comfortable, with cereal, fruit and bread & spreads, tea and coffee provided for breakfast. The hosts, Ed and Art are the most congenial of hosts - frankly, it's like staying with a couple of good friends.

  Comments: We are just back from a great time in NYC. Art and Ed are remarkable...from the minute we arrived we felt welcomed and supported by their good ideas, truly lovely home (spacious, comfortable, quiet and well located) and helpful guidance. They are amazing. The high line is a NYC MUST and they know the restaurants (check out "Bar Centrale" when you go to a show...wouldn't have found it without Art's help). We'll stay there again in a heart beat. Also, the home is very clean and the neighborhood is safe.

• Reviewer: Laurent

  Comments: Nous revenons d'un séjour de quatre nuits chez Arthur et Ed que nous remercions chaleureusement de leur accueil. L'appartement est aussi beau et spacieux que sur les photos. Nous avions à disposition la cuisine très bien équipée pour éventuellement préparer un repas. Tous les matins tous les ingrédients d'un parfait breakfast étaient prêts ( jus d'orange, fruits frais, yaourts ..) La salle à manger salon et le salon sont très agréables pour se reposer des longues marches new-yorkaises et musique douce et petits chocolats sonr là pour vous réconforter. La chambre est conforme à la photo avec 2 lits simples que l'on peut rapprocher. Une commode et des espaces de rangement sont à la disposition des invités. Les lits étaient faits. La salle d 'eau est totalement privative ainsi que les WC et tout est vraiment prévu pour que vous vous sentiez chez vous: serviettes de toilette, coton, kleenex, bougies parfumées et produits cosmétiques. Cet appartement est situé dans le quartier de Chelsea, très agréable, riche en petits restaurants sympathiques et relativement peu chers. La high line vous permettra d'aller faire votre footing ou votre promenade romantique le soir à l'heure du sunset puisqu'elle est à accessible par l'escalier qui jouxte l'immeuble Dès lors de la réservation, nous avons eu des contacts par mail avec Arthur et Ed qui très spontanément nous ont proposés de répondre à toutes les questions que nous pouvions nous poser pour notre séjour à NYC mais aussi sur l'ensemble de notre voyage américain. Trés gentiment ils nous ont indiqués les sites qu'ils appréciaient sur notre parcours ce qui nous a permis d'enrichir notre programme. Etant absents le jour de notre arrivée, ils nous ont prévenus que Kim nous attendrait à l'heure prévue. Celle-ci a tout fait pour nous rendre l' installation facile, elle nous a donné tous les renseignements pratiques et nous savions que nous pouvions l'appeler en cas de besoin. Le meilleur reste à venir: parlons maintenant des propriétaires. Un point très rassurant pour tous les français qui ne maitrisent pas la langue de Shakespeare, Arthur possède un français plus que parfait! Extrêmement prévenant, d'une grande culture artistique, il vous guidera vers les nombreux musées et les sites historiques de NYC. Par ailleurs Arthur vous indiquera tous les bons plans : restaurants, bars, galeries, lieux de musique .. En fin de séjour, Ed et Arthur nous ont laissé la disponibilité de la chambre jusqu'à notre départ en fin d'après midi pour prendre notre avion décollant à 21 h 50, ce que nous avons vivement apprécié. Pour vous décrire l'amabilité d'Arthur, il nous a réservé un taxi pour notre départ et est allé jusqu'à descendre les bagages. En résumé, nous ne pouvons que vous recommander cette adresse en n'oubliant pas de vous préciser que tout est très propre et que vous pouvez facilement vous garer devant l'immeuble pour déposer vos bagages.

  Comments: Upon walking in the door, we both felt immediately welcome into Ed & Arthur's home. We were given a fantastic introduction to New York with a brief history and key locations to visit. The accommodation is clean, modern, comfortable and cozy. Providing the right amount of privacy and interaction with hosts. We appreciated our own room and private bathroom. Breakfast provided was fresh and delicious. Location of accommodation is fantastic. Great view of the high line from the kitchen and bedroom. Outstanding hospitality provided by the hosts. We look forward to returning to stay with Arthur & Ed in the future.

• Reviewer: Geyer

  Comments: We stayed with Arthur and Ed during a busy weekend trip and I can't say enough good things about their place or their expertise as hosts. As with the rest of the Highline neighborhood, their listing can only get more and more in demand, unfortunately for us, and with good reason. Their Chelsea neighborhood, and access to everything you need for a great NY trip, is fantastic. We had no trouble with the thorough instructions they provided and they made themselves available before our arrival in case we needed any help making this a successful trip. Their BnB was exactly as advertised and as charming as it could be. A comfortable room and well appointed bath were all we were expecting but we got so much more. We actually ran out of time to take advantage of all of Ed's suggestions regarding fun NY activities. We plan on returning to continue with his list. If you want to experience the life available in NYC, without going through the buffer of a hotel, you can get it here. We look forward to returning.

  Comments: A very relaxed and welcoming place to stay. Arthur and Ed helped us feel at ease. Our room and facilities were very well appointed. Their apartment provides an artistically designed environment. A fantastic area to feel part of in New York and having immediate access to the High Line meant we always had access to an open green environment with views across the city and river.

The room was cosy and everything was very clean. At the highline park, it's a perfect location. Thanks for the stay!

  Comments: Our stay at Arthur & Eds was perfect for our 5 days in New York. They are very warm and welcoming hosts. The accommodation was excellent, exactly as presented on the webpage. A very well appointed spacious bedroom, and spotlessly presented bathroom. We were given a very warm welcome, lots of information on what to see and do in New York. The location is excellent with bus and subway close by. A supermarket and lots of cafes and restaurants close by. We were able to leave our luggage on the last day and as our flight was late at night were able to have a shower and freshen up before leaving for the airport. All in all - a great stay. Thank you!

  Comments: It was our first Air B&B experience and it could not have been better. Everything was precisely as described. Arthur & Ed were fantastic hosts. When we arrived, Arthur explained us everything and gave us helpful insider tips for our visit in NYC. The neighborhood is trendy with some good and reasonably priced restaurants and many arts galleries. Bus stops are right in front of the house, but midtown is only a half hour walk away. All in all we enjoyed our stay with Arthur and Ed a lot and can highly recommend to stay with them.

  Comments: If anyone had told me that one of the highlights of their trip to New York was their airbnb accommodation I would not have believed them; but that was definitely the case for us. We traveled from Australia to spend 11 nights in Ed and Art’s beautiful home and it was perfect. Everything you read in the reviews is true. Ed and Art are kind, warm and generous people and immediately make you feel at home. The neighborhood is wonderful. There are plenty of ‘cheap eats’ in the area and the high line is magnificent. Many times we came home exhausted after a big day out and collapsed in to bed, other times we stayed up chatting with our wonderful hosts. Whatever suits you is also fine with them. Art is totally charming and so very helpful. Ed loves to tell a story and is very funny. The home is glorious; the bedroom is clean, spacious and beautifully furnished and the breakfast options generous…what more can I say. They made our stay the success that it was. Thanks Ed and Art xx

  Comments: Arthur greeted us when we arrived, gave us a little orientation, and made us feel most welcome. Ed and Arthur are genial and respectful hosts. The room was clean and tidy, and near the kitchen. Windows form the bedroom looked out on the High Line--lovely. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. We felt comfortable making coffee and eating a light breakfast in the spotless kitchen. Our hosts provided lots of guidebooks and some good tips for sights in the area. We've been to New York many times and have lived here for short stints, but never explored Chelsea, so this was a first. Lincoln Center, our evening destination, was a short bus ride away, and we were easily able to walk from Penn Station and our Amtrak train to Arthur and Ed's home.

  Comments: We had a wonderful welcome from Art, who was so thoughtful after our long journey. Krys was given a beautiful box of birthday cup cakes and card. The house looked amazing, with the tree and hearth all decorated for Christmas.The accommodation is so comfortable with everything we needed and in such a great location. Art's tips for places to see and where to eat were spot on which helped us to make the most of our short visit. It was good to get to meet Ed on our last evening. We were able to do lots of walking but also found that the M11 bus up 10th Avenue was a really fast service. Art and Ed are such a kind couple and we couldn't have picked better hosts for Krys' first trip to New York. Thank you

• Reviewer: Walter

  Comments: The perfect spot if you love art! We stayed with Art & Ed just before Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time visiting museums, the High Line and all the galleries clustered around their Chelsea neighborhood. And don't forget their own personal art collection (and huge Christmas tree)! Art and Ed were excellent hosts. They provided great trip guidance beforehand and during the stay. They have several guides to city attractions (and personal experiences) you can use to plan each day.Their home is immaculate and the guest bath is fabulous. They offered a quick Continental breakfast for each day but we couldn't pass up the excellent Sullivan St. Bakery only a few blocks away (tasting the breakfast panini right now!). You can literally watch people walking on the High Line only 50' away from their breakfast room window. A few steps and you're walking there yourself. Subway stops are close by to take you anywhere in the city. One of our favorite AirBnB vacations!

We werden zeer hartelijk ontvangen, met een kopje koffie en kregen veel uitleg en tips over de omgeving en wat er allemaal te beleven viel. De kamer en de badkamer waren zeer proper. We mochten ook gebruik maken van hun gezellige huiskamer, met open haard. Hun B&B is zeer goed gelegen, vlak bij de Highline en er is een metrostation niet ver vandaan. Arthur en Ed zelf zijn zeer lieve, aangename mensen, heel erg gastvrij. Kortom, een echte aanrader!! Bedankt, Arthur en Ed, voor alles wat jullie voor ons gedaan hebben!! We hebben het heel erg geapprecieerd! Miet en Inge

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: Let me add to the chorus of superb reviews for this home and for the wonderful, caring hosts Art and Ed. They have thought of everything to make one’s stay memorable. The spotless bedroom had cable TV mounted over one of the beds, blackout shades over the windows, and even a “white noise” machine to lull you to sleep. The bathroom is wall-to-wall black marble and included brand new toothbrushes and an array of nice colognes. Art made sure that coffee was set up for brewing each morning, coupled with juice, bread, bananas and yogurt. When I arrived the first evening, Art and I sat around the kitchen table with glasses wine and had a great discussion about our backgrounds and about my plans to explore New York when my wife arrived the next morning. I corresponded with Art prior to my visit in order to get suggestions on where the locals go for restaurants. We were not in NYC long enough to try out his long list of places, but we did have a marvelous dinner right downstairs at the Red Cat restaurant and also tried his suggestion for a discrete after-theater place virtually unknown to tourists. Since our plans included a Broadway play on a rainy night, Art and Ed let us borrow a pair of opera glasses and umbrellas to keep us dry. If you are avid walkers, the location is perfect for exploring both mid-town via the High Line, the Chelsea Market, and also lower Manhattan. We did an enjoyable walk all the way downtown to the 9-11 museum. You will also notice that you are surrounded by great little art galleries. We were amazed at the rich collection of Picassos virtually around the corner at the Pace Gallery. In summary, we experienced the perfect combination of interaction with our hosts and freedom to come and go. You will not find more gracious, friendly and helpful hosts as Art and Ed. We can’t wait to go back!

• Reviewer: Lou Ann

  Comments: Arthur and Ed were terrific hosts, just the right ratio of assistance, advice and respect for privacy, on both host and guest sides, with some fascinating local history thrown in for good measure. Location on the Highline @ 23rd was central to easy subway lines to get to midtown, upper east side or Brooklyn. That said, room was very private, as was the bath, and the main floor parlor/atrium/dining room was lovely. Richest, most lusciously decorated Xmas tree I've ever seen. Wish I was the lucky recipient of some of those gorgeously wrapped presents beneath. Morning pot o coffee @ the push of a button and quiet time to reflect on your upcoming day in Manhattan. I'd sum up my stay there as effortless and intend to return.

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: My friend and I stayed with Ed and Art for a week the week before Christmas. From the initial booking right through to the day we left, our experience was nothing but exceptional! What a pleasure it was to stay with these two gentlemen in their absolutely gorgeous apartment in the heart of Chelsea. Extremely hospitable, caring, talkative without being intrusive and welcoming. The knowledge of the cool places to go was exceptional also. From art and culture places, cafes, restaurants, cocktail bars... Anything we wanted to see or do Art and Ed had some great tips which you won't find in the Lonely Planet guide. I got the flu for a couple of days and Ed whipped up his amazing chicken soup for me - which was simply amazing and such a kind hearted gesture. The location is away from the noise and intensity of Times Square but only 1-2 blocks from the Subway, a bus station across the road and a 20 minute walk to Broadway. In summary, Ed and Art are incredibly kind hearted and possibly the most hospitable people I have had the pleasure of meeting. It was certainly a pleasure to stay with them during our time in NYC.

• Reviewer: Jill Christian

  Comments: Arthur and Ed could not have been any more welcoming and helpful. They genuinely care that your New York experience is the best it can possibly be. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and shown around the lovely space. Guidebooks, maps, pictures, and answers to any questions will be at the ready. The room itself is quite comfortable and looks out directly onto the Highline. Every detail seems to be thought of, including fresh coffee and continental breakfast in the mornings. We found the location central to everything of interest and easily accessible to both the bus and subway. The neighborhood is one of the best in New York, full of galleries and great restaurants. We have been to the city many times, but this visit will remain special to us because of these perfect accommodations. We plan on staying again for future vists and would not hesitate to recommend this listing to anyone looking to experience New York and feel right at home in the process.

  Comments: What can I say? After a seamless arrival into Manhattan (thanks to the detailed info on the airbnb listing) we were warmly welcomed by Ed into their beautiful Chelsea apartment, offered a glass of wine and some food, then enjoyed a thoughtful tour of the apartment. The room and bathroom clean, tasteful, quiet and very comfortable. The shared kitchen very spacious with a unique view of the Highline. The daily continental breakfast was an excellent way to start the day. I have to say that although the amenities are perfect they do not surpass the hosts, Art and Ed! We enjoyed every opportunity we had to talk to them. They are kind, intelligent, gracious and full of unique stories and excellent advice about their beloved city. We feel so fortunate to have stayed with them...I just cannot recommend their rental enough. Erin

  Comments: Unser Aufenthalt war noch schöner als wir es nach den Bildern und der Beschreibung erwartet hatten! Ed und Arthur sind die perfekten Gastgeber: charmant und gebildet, warmherzig und fürsorglich. Wir wurden nach unserer Ankunft mit einem Glas Wein empfangen und Ed hat uns viele interessante Informationen gegeben. Das Apartment ist einem einem schönen alten Haus und nach Eds Plänen im Bauhausstil umgebaut worden. Sehr geschmackvoll und mit Kunstgegenständen bestückt. Unser Zimmer war gemütlich, mit wundervollen Betten (wir haben besser als zu Hause geschlafen) und einem Blick direkt auf die Highline. Zimmer und Badezimmer waren blitzsauber. Das Frühstück stand morgens bereit, war reichhaltig und lecker. Die Lage ist äußerst günstig, in der Nähe von U Bahnlinien, Busse an der Ecke, Chelsea Market und Whitney Museum zu Fuß zu erreichen - auf der Highline! Restaurants und Gallerien in der nächsten Umgebung. Wir können uns kein schöneres "home away from home" vorstellen, nirgendwo. Und unsere Gastgeber Ed und Arthur haben wir in`s Herz geschlossen!

  Comments: Wonderful hosts for our first visit to NY. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived, and enjoyed our debriefing sessions with Art and Ed at the end of each day. Excellent advice on places to eat, and things to see as well as on the history of the Chelsea district and NY overall

• Reviewer: Donna

  Comments: I loved staying with Arthur and Ed! They were a wealth of information and so very welcoming. I soon felt I was staying with friends, and in fact I do believe I have made some lovely new friends.

• Reviewer: Mei

  Comments: INCREDIBLY GREAT! This is honestly the best airbnb experience I've ever had. Living in Chelsea, right under the high line is like a dream come true. The place has prime location, amazing decorations, homely atmosphere, and exceptionally clean and comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The bathroom, especially, is like 5-star hotel level. Makes me speechless. But most importantly, the hosts Art and Ed are like the sweetest people in this planet. They're so nice and kind and taught me so much about this city and being a New Yorker. They really care about how guests feel. Their cats are great!! I enjoy walking on high line just next to the house, walking along the Hudson River at night and visit the Chelsea piers. And living here just makes me fall in love with the city and really feel how warm New York actually is. Marvelous 3 nights. I would love to visit again. :) <3

• Reviewer: Maddy

  Comments: Art and Ed are the most genuine and lovely people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I absolutely loved staying with them and only wish I could have stayed longer. They went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. Had fantastic suggestions of things to do, places to eat and drink. The area is beautiful, especially being so close to the high line which I used frequently to get to other parts of the city. Their apartment is absolutely incredible and spacious. I felt instantly at ease, Ed ad Art make you feel at home straight away. My first airbnb experience and I doubt it will ever be beaten. I hope to come back and visit them soon!

• Reviewer: Claudia

  Comments: If you want to treat yourself to a fabulous NYC stay ... then stay with Arthur and Ed in Chelsea! The accomodation is stunning, the beds very comfy, the neigbourhood with the Highline just beautiful and the best about the location are the hosts Arthur and Ed. Both of them made our stay an experience that I would call "home away from home"! They are just amazingly lovely and welcoming! Whatever help or information we needed - we received! I travelled with my 10 year old son and can only highly recommend staying with children at Ed & Arthur's place. My son and I were not only happy guests but also inspired by our conversations and the generosity towards us! This is definately a 5 star airbnb place!

  Comments: J'ai passé une excellente semaine chez Ed et Arthur, je suis venu pour mon travail et j'ai été superbement accueilli, La propreté au rendez vous, l'appartement est très bien situé, près des bus, des stations de métro, le quartier est très agréable, juste derrière la High Line et des restaurant très sympa autour. Ed et Arthur respecte votre autonomie tout en vous faisant sentir qu'ils sont la pour vous si vous avez besoin de quoi que ce soit. Merci à tous les deux. Je recommande cette chambre sans restrictions.

• Reviewer: Linda

  Comments: My stay with Art and Ed was everything the previous reviews said. They were charming, educated, helpful people and their apartment is great. Chelsea is a very convenient place to stay and I saw as much as I could in my time In NYC. I would be happy to come back and stay with them again if I come back to NY. If you haven't been (Website hidden by Airbnb) prepared to walk your feet off!

• Reviewer: Margaret

  Comments: Art and Ed were very warm and welcoming hosts. Art spent a considerable amount of time introducing us to the apartment which was impeccably furnished. We were able to make full use of the lounge and kitchen and there was a very good choice of food for breakfast each day. Art and Ed were a fund of local knowledge. As a result we saw places in New York which we may otherwise have missedq. We were also able to use their washing machine and they could not have been kinder.

• Reviewer: Rex

  Comments: 选择住在Arthur & Ed的家,是这次纽约之行最大的收获之一,也是c最难忘的回忆之一｡ 他们漂亮的家位于很方便的街区,离地铁站步行几分钟的距离,到各个景点都非常方便;楼下就有餐馆和24小时超市,从HIGHLINE一直走到哈德逊河畔,可以看到高楼大厦之外的纽约｡ Arthur & Ed很细心地给客人准备了地图,和我们讨论行程,给我们提供有用的信息和建议,和Arthur聊天是一件很愉快的事,如果再来纽约,我们还会考虑选择这里｡ ———————————————————————— Our staying in Arthur & Ed's beautiful apartment is an amazing experience and one of the most unforgettable memories in NY. It locates in an very convenient community which near the MTR station\Highline park\restaurants and 24-hours store.You can feel the other side of NY. Arthur & Ed are very nice and welcoming hosts.They gave us a lot of helpful information and advises.If we go to NYC the next time,we would be happy to stay with them again.

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: Simply put, I would never want to stay anywhere else in NY. The place itself clean and GORGEOUS, honestly it looks even better in person. It's really easy to find and it's probably in the best location possible. Art was super kind and helpful and could probably tell you everything you ever wanted to know about anything. As two young women staying in NY, let me tell you, we felt SAFE and comfortable which was really important to me. It felt like a home. I only wish we could have stayed longer so I'd have had time to hang out in the lounge!

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: Nous avons passé une excellente semaine chez Arthur et Ed. L'appartement est confortable et exactement conforme à la description. Il est très bien situé : des restaurants et pubs à proximité pour les sorties du soir et la highline pour des nuits calmes ou pour les amateurs de jogging. Nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite à l'aise. Les rencontres avec Arthur et Ed avaient lieu plutôt en fin de journée, dans la cuisine, et permettaient d'échanger sur les visites du jour ou sur le programme à venir. L'accueil d'Arthur et Ed est chaleureux, simple et discret. Leurs conseils et "bons plans" pour la découverte de NYC sont précieux.

• Reviewer: Moritz

  Comments: Es war der erste Aufenthalt mit airbnb und ich kann Arthur & Ed definitiv weiterempfehlen. Vor allem Arthur war von Anfang an sehr bemüht, sodass man sich sehr wohl fühlte. Unser Zimmer und Bad waren auf einer eigenen Etage, wodurch man seine Privatsphäre hatte. Lage des Apartments war super. Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt.

• Reviewer: Pascale

  Comments: Arthur and Ed are wonderful hosts and their appartment is beautiful, a very cosy and trendy penthouse. You just feel at home. The bedroom is very quite and you can see the highline outside, exceptional. We highly recommend !

• Reviewer: Edney

  Comments: Being hosted by Arthur & Ed certainly made our trip to NYC ever more special. Their kindness and attention made us feel like home. Everything was perfect! Great location, very comfortable bed, quiet room with a view of the High Line Park. They received us with enthusiasm and gave us lots of tips about places and sights around NYC and they shared with us their love for this city.

C'est grâce à leurs précieux conseils que nous avons découvert un autre visage de New York, idéal pour une deuxième visite. Queen, Brooklyn.... Un grand merci pour vos attentions,votre disponibilité et gentillesse. Pat et Steph.

• Reviewer: Phil

  Comments: We were instantly made to feel welcome by Art who greeted us when we arrived. Both Art and Ed are great guys who are very knowledgable about the area. Everything was perfect, and exactly as described. Their place really is stunning, especially around Christmas...the tree is a sight to behold! The location was perfect...right on the high line walk and close to great restaurants, bars and Chelsea market. The transport links are great, with easy access to all the main sights. I'd recommend the room to anyone!

• Reviewer: Linda

  Comments: Arthur and Ed are GREAT hosts! Their Superhost title is well deserved. As long as they continue to share their home through Airbnb, I will never stay anywhere else again while in NYC! Actually, they made my trip 100% much better and more fun! They are both highly intelligent men who are easy to talk to about any subject; especially NYC. I spent a week there, and could have sat and talked to them ALL day, if time allowed! Their home is as beautiful as the photos, and the bed is very comfortable. Transportation was convenient to get to around their area, and the Highline is a great place to walk and see more. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends who visit NYC.

• Reviewer: Ingrid

  Comments: Art and Ed are truly deserved super hosts. They made me feel welcome from the moment I booked up until my departure. I highly recommend to follow their advice on near by restaurants, bakeries and sights. I loved the location and enjoyed overlooking the High Line from the bedroom window each day. You're in for a treat if you manage to get a booking with these lovely people!

• Reviewer: Tina (And Axel)

  Comments: This is a really sweet spot!!! Art & Ed's historic penthouse is enormous (truly huge by New York standards) and lavishly appointed with hotel-style bathrooms and gourmet kitchen. The location is unbeatable. It's a super hip area, and if you are walking north or south, you can take the Highline to get there. Art & Ed's hospitality is off the charts! They are friendly, open, and they make a huge effort to be helpful and accommodating. We had some great chats, and they shared lots of great local knowledge. If they didn't already have a Superhost award, we would nominate them for sure!

• Reviewer: Rosemary

  Comments: My husband and I always stay with Art and Ed when we are in NY. They are wonderful hosts. Their home is conveniently located, always clean and comfortable, just a stone's throw from the High Line in Chelsea. This time we actually walked from Penn Station with our bags. It's not that far. Each time we needed a cab, we just walked downstairs and found one within minutes. They are both very knowledgeable about NY and points beyond. We were especially grateful for Art's tip to visit St. Augustine on our way to Savannah and Charleston. We will definitely stay with them any time we visit NY.

• Reviewer: Stacee

  Comments: After spending the past six trips to NYC in Hotels, I have found Nirvana. Art and Ed’s home and neighborhood was safe, clean, and the location could not have been better for us. The Public Transport stop is 4 minutes from their home, and Art and Ed happily indulged us when we needed directions or information. They are also so welcoming and were earnestly interested in making sure we were having a good time. They could not have been kinder or more accommodating to us. My sister and I were completely comfortable staying there, following their mantra of “this is your home for the week”. When in NYC I will Always stay with Art and Ed, if they will have me. Stacee

• Reviewer: Catherine

  Comments: De belles photos de la maison et de l'environnement qui étaient conformes à la réalité, très beau lieu chaleureux et nos hôtes charmants et accueillants tout en étant discrets. Nous recommandons cet endroit, nous étions proches de nombreux quartiers à visiter. Bref que du bonheur, Arthur parle un français parfait et du coup notre anglais était tout à fait minable, nous n'avons pas progressé sur cet aspect là mais nous allons faire des efforts, Ed nous a raconté des histoires sympas sur sa vie, nous aurions été heureuses de plus être en mesure d'échanger avec lui. Les deux chats sont aussi agréables, très chics et mystérieux. Nous allons communiquer l'adresse à notre famille qui va visiter New-York. Nous serons heureuses avec Camille d'accueillir Arthur et Ed pour un séjour en France.

• Reviewer: James & Mary

  Comments: We were welcomed warmly by Art despite being delayed 1 1/2 hrs beyond our arrival time. After helping with our bags he gave us a great orientation to the neighborhood, suggesting several restaurants and things to do in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. All the restaurants turned out to be very good, so we were very grateful for the advice. Our week-end was wonderful, and the location for our activities on the West Side were just around the corner from the apartment!! If we needed anything ( which we did not) Art and Ed were just a phone call away and sweet Kim was on site. It felt like we had the apt to ourselves, which was a real luxury! Although our private bath was "down the hall" and not an en-suite, we were perfectly at ease with the arrangement. Being on the high-line was great fun! And we loved the location. If I had to find one thing in the "dislike" category, it would be the 1 1/2 flights of stairs to the apartment. That should not deter anyone -it's just an FYI.

• Reviewer: Jenny

  Comments: My friend, Sue, and I had a grand 5 daystar in NewYork enhanced triple fold by staying in Arthur and Ed’s lovely, spacious, clean and aesthetically pleasing apartment. My achilles heel on holiday is always the pillow, not so here, it was PERFECT! If you are walkers, the accommodation is within walking distance of most of the ‘sights’, we walked to Central Park from there, taking in the Flat Iron Building, Grand Central Station, EmpireState Building etc etc, as well as Greenwich Village but if you prefer public transport the area is well served with buses and the metro. There are a number of good restaurants within walking distance and Arthur has produced a list of recommendations. Arthur gave us many useful tips about what to see and the quickest or most interesting ways of getting around. We enjoyed some social time with both Ed andArthur but they never intruded on our space or time. I would, without doubt, stay there again, if they would have me!

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Can't rate this place highly enough. Great people and hosts, fantastic location couldn't ask for more. Thank you hope to see you again on our return.

• Reviewer: Lisa And Alan

  Comments: I can't speak highly enough about Art & Ed and their generous hospitality & beautiful apartment. From the first communication to our farewell we felt welcomed and cared about. Both have extensive knowledge of NY, history, unique sights, great restaurants like only locals do & are very happy to share these with their guests. The location is great, a 10 minute walk to the subway or bus right outside. The Highline is literally outside the door and it's lovely to walk it. included breakfast is a great start to the day & laid out thoughtfully each night ready for the morning , beds & pillows are great quality & very comfortable, linen, towels are clean, fresh & were changed during our 12 day stay. The private bathroom is spacious & immaculately clean, as is the whole apartment, with a stock of essentials including a hairdryer . We didn't use the kitchen to cook in apart from making a cup of tea & late night snacks, but it had everything you would need to make a meal if you want. We were welcome to use the lounge room, very pleasant to sit in comfort to read or catch up on emails etc and not feel that you have to stay in the bedroom, There are restaurants & a couple of bars downstairs & many more within walking distance what ever type of food you're after, a 24 hr pharmacy opposite, a liquor store & a supermarket in the next block. Although the intersection of Tenth & 23rd is busy, the bedroom is at the back, not on the street & apart from the odd siren, the street noise didn't bother us at all. It is New York after all, it's a busy place all hours. We slept very well. And only one flight of steps, easily manageable, and we were helped up the stairs with our bags. We felt safe at all times, the building is secure and our privacy was respected always. A wonderful stay with two lovely people, thanks so much Art & Ed.

• Reviewer: Tonianne

  Comments: My husband and I stayed in Art & Ed’s home for 12 days. We found their hospitality and friendship exceptional which added to the wonderful time we spent in New York. The apartment was fabulous as shown on their site, extremely well equipped with all you could possibility need, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds. Breakfast was supplied, we didn’t cook during our stay but we had the use of a full kitchen. Excellent location close to buses and subway, restaurants (The Red Cat was excellent especially the Tempura Green Beans), groceries and the apartment abuts the High Line. Early morning walks on the High Line to Chelsea Market were great, especially enjoying the Ninth Street Coffee in the market. We can’t speak highly enough of Art and Ed “Super Hosts Extraordinarine”, extremely generous in all aspects of our stay and willing to share their knowledge/history of New York. Art & Ed provided a comprehensive document detailing places to visit and excellent restaurants which all added to a wonderful experience. We would love to revisit New York and would definitely like to stay with Art and Ed again. Art & Ed’s belief in Airbnb is that it is a community for sharing experiences. There is no doubt they live up to this and were pleased to hear about our experiences as well.

• Reviewer: Mutsumi&Inchul

  Comments: Arthur & Ed are so wonderful hosts! We were impressed by their welcome and gentleness and consideration very much. Their house is an ideal place of New York that we image. The good interior and art of the sense are also lovely. Of course it is very comfortable and clean! They explained recommended sightseeing places of New York to us in detail. We were able to thereby have a splendid experience. However, the memory that is the most splendid for us is the conversation with them and staying at their house. We want to go to NYC again to visit Arthur & Ed.

• Reviewer: Robin

  Comments: Exceeded our expectations ! Arthur and Ed are amazing hosts, welcoming and informative. Immediately felt at home and fully informed when we met Arthur, he provided us with a lot of information and took time to understand our plans for the trip. The private room was perfect, amazing view of the highline. Bathroom was brilliant and well equipped. The fact that we were able to use the kitchen and living room was great as the apartment itself is fantastic, all the facilities you could need and more. Location is excellent two blocks away from Subway, couple of minutes walk to access Highline which we used a lot. From this location we felt we had an ideal start point to do all the exploring we wanted. The area felt very safe and had lots of local services, shops, bars and restaurants. Highly recommend the Half King bar and restaurant which we visited a few times and is two minutes away. We were out a lot but were lucky one night to spend some time with Ed and Arthur, very interesting and open hosts and we had a great time with them, and I would love to meet them again. So if your thinking about booking this accommodation I can only say go for it and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a fantastic stay guys and hope one day our paths cross again. Robin

  Comments: Art and Ed were exceptional hosts! My friend and I felt so welcome in their home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Their house is beautiful and the room we stayed in was clean and spacious. The private bathroom is wonderful and such a lovely convenience too. The location is perfect - close to the subway and right on the highline! Ed and Art provided great suggestions for things to see and do, as well as great restaurant and food options. When I'm back in NYC, I will definitely be coming back to stay here! My friend and I both remarked that it was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had!

• Reviewer: Nick

  Comments: Ed and Art are warm, responsive and well-prepared hosts and their place is the most amazing comfy clean spacious artistic well-decorated centrally-located penthouse apartment in all of New York City. They communicated well and clearly about checkin; they provided clean linens and brand new *individually wrapped* toothbrushes (Ed is a Dentist so I guess dental hygiene is a passion of his); coffee, cereal and fresh fruit were laid out every morning; and they each told me neighborhood tips and interesting anecdotes. Ask Ed to show you the view from the roof!

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: I had a wonderful stay with Ed and Art. They were extremely helpful and hospitable, particularly as I arrived late and stayed on during my last day. The room is small but very comfortable and the location is absolutely brilliant. I would recommend staying here and hope to do so in the future when I next come to New York.

• Reviewer: Alexander

  Comments: It was a wonderful time staying at Arts and Eds Apartment. They were very friendly, and if you had any questions or problems, you could ask them for advice. You notice, that they are really interested in your wellbeing. I would definitely recommend the AirBnb Hosts. You couldn't do anything wrong, if you stay there. Many many thanks to Art and Ed, Alex and Stefan

• Reviewer: Paula

  Comments: Art and Ed met us at the door, showed us around the apartment, left breakfast items out in the open, provided a list of good places to eat lunch and dinner. Offered information on places to visit and where to go to get to the subway, bus and taxis. Room was very adequate for our needs, temperature in the house was very comfotable. We spent considerable time in conversation and found them pleasant and knowledgeable onamny topics including art and local history. It was a wonderful experience and will definitely stay again if the timing works out.

• Reviewer: Michelle

  Comments: Arthur and Ed were so welcoming for our entire visit! Right from the moment I booked our reservation Art was corresponding via text setting up the details of our arrival. Their place is SO beautiful and comfortable and they pulled out all the stops, from stocked toiletries in the bathroom to coffee and fruit in the kitchen. They know so much about the history of Manhattan and have a booklet at the ready for their guests with sites to check out as well as best places to eat all over the city. I hope to book every future trip to Manhattan with Arthur and Ed!

• Reviewer: Tami

  Comments: Art and Ed are welcoming and gracious. They are also VERY knowledgable about the area and transportation. The location and communication could not have been better and we highly recommend them as hosts. Their home is comfortable and has plenty of space for privacy if you so choose. A very satisfied customer!!

• Reviewer: Carol

  Comments: Art and Ed are the consumate airbnb hosts! They are gracious, hospitable, helpful and all around nice guys. During our stay one of us got a cold and Ed made home made chicken soup! They are not just super hosts, they are super nova hosts. Best airbnb experience ever thanks to the hosts! Accomodations are as described. Their home is perfect layout for room rental experience with access to common areas including a fully equipped kitchen. Great neighborhood right in the heart of Chelsea near Highline. Would plan a trip to NYC again based on their availability.

• Reviewer: Dorothy

  Comments: Arthur & Ed are the perfect hosts so very helpful and accommodating and their knowledge of NYC is second to none I'm sure. Their apartment is spacious, clean and lovely, although we spent little time there (who stays in when in NYC) it was great to have use of a kitchen and living room instead of being confined to ones room. Art was kind to even do some washing for us. Location is fabulous, very central and we managed to walk to most areas. We would recommend the high line to stay whilst in NYC.

• Reviewer: Aelish

  Comments: Stayed at Arthur & Ed's apartment for four days in September. They were the perfect hosts with the perfect apartment in a perfect location of New York. The apartment is, quite simply beautiful. It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had permission to use the kitchen at any time throughout our stay. The breakfast they supplied each morning, was a very generous gesture by Arthur & Ed, and very much appreciated. They also provided us with lots of very useful information on local attractions, restaurants, transport in and around New York and the Chelsea area also. They were very interesting to chat with, and engaged in conversations with us very easily. We truly enjoyed their company. This is the first time that I have used Airbnb where the owner is living in the property I have rented during my time there. So I was nervous before I arrived as to how this would work. However, I need not have worried at all. They are indeed super hosts. Arthur & Ed also like their privacy and the space within the apartment allows for everyone to have privacy if they want it. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this apartment to anyone who is thinking of travelling to New York and looking for somewhere to stay. We will definitely return again. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else except Arthur & Ed's penthouse on 10th Avenue. Thank you both for making our trip to New York such a wonderful experience.

• Reviewer: Fay

  Comments: Art & Ed were great hosts and made us feel at home immediately. The apartment was very nice, with a lovely well decorated living room. The location is fantastic, with nice galleries and restaurants. They had such vast knowledge of New York and recommended all of the best places to go in the neighborhood. I can't imagine staying in another place whenever I go to New York again.

• Reviewer: Annemarie

  Comments: Dieses war unser 1. airbnb Aufenthalt und er kann nicht getoppt werden! Arthur und Ed sind sehr herzlich, immer ansprechbar, hilfsbereit und da selbst äußerst reiseerfahren, wissen sie ganz genau, was man sich wünscht, wenn man im Ausland übernachtet. Selbst der eigene Bademantel gehört zu den Details, die den Aufenthalt bei Arthur und Ed so besonders machen. Wir wurden empfangen wie Freunde und haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Arthur war bei unserer Ankunft da und hat sich viel Zeit genommen, uns alles zu erklären und uns mit unglaublich guten Tipps versorgt. Auch eine Reservierung in Restaurant "The Red Cat", welches im Hause ist und wo man normalerweise Monate im voraus reservieren muß, war für Ed kein Problem. Da wir morgens die Küche und das Wohnzimmer für uns hatten, konnten wir in Ruhe frühstücken und den Tag in dem herrlichen, sonnendurchfluteten Wohnzimmer starten. Bei Ed und Arthur fühlt man sich gut betreut, willkommen und es ist immer die richtige Balance zwischen "... wir sind für Euch da" und ".... wir lassen Euch in Ruhe". Wie gesagt, das ist sehr schwer zu toppen. Wir freuen uns immer auf zu Hause, aber diese Mal hätten wir länger bleiben können.

• Reviewer: Stella

  Comments: Art e Ed se colocaram a disposição, nos deram seus celulares e estavam ao alcance se precisássemos. Mas não precisamos porque tudo estava perfeito. O quarto é melhor do que aparece nas (Website hidden by Airbnb) 2 grandes janelas tínhamos vista sobre o Highline . Sempre deixavam tudo arrumado para nosso café da manhã e so precisávamos colocar a louça na máquina. A cozinha é ampla e estava a nossa disposição e tivemos a impressão de morar no Chelsea. Em cima do Red Cat, ao lado de uma galeria de Arte e do Highline tivemos uma experiência única de New York, como verdadeiras Nova Iorquinas. Voltaremos com certeza.

  Comments: My sister Beth and I had a wonderful four day stay with Art and Ed in their lovely Chelsea penthouse. It offers the best of all possible worlds with a well-appointed private bed/bath combined with the use of the kitchen and comfy living room space. The location was ideal for our New York visit - easy walking to many of our destinations as well as access to lots of nearby transportation options. Art and Ed are both such generous hosts, always willing to share their wealth of NY knowledge. Thanks also to Castor and Pollux for sharing "their" couch ;-) Highly recommended! We hope to return.

• Reviewer: Lilu

  Comments: This was my first time renting a room, and I couldn't have been luckier. Art and Ed were absolutely lovely! Art was quick to respond and helped me in every way possible. Overall, the apartment is a beautiful space, filled with art. Apropos, considering that the location is conveniently located around the corner from all the galleries—a perfect location for art lovers. They had a huge Christmas tree in the living room, which made the place feel warm and festive. The room and private bathroom was well-appointed with all the necessities. They even had bathrobes! Overall, my experience was A+. I would definitely stay here again when I'm back in the city. Highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Rebecca

  Comments: This house was right next to the High Line Park. The location is great for gallery going, restaurants, and the Whitney Museum. Their house is 2 blocks from subway; makes getting anywhere very easy. This was our first airbnb experience and it was a great introduction to the process. Would certainly stay with Arthur and Ed again. We were made to feel comfortable in their home and they offered local knowledge that would be impossible to get in any other manner. Our stay with Arthur and Ed was a perfect mix of accommodation into their home, sharing their experiences when helpful, and making us comfortable in doing our own thing as well. Their house is very large for NYC and the private bedroom and bath we used was perfect for our needs (a married couple). Highly Recommended!

• Reviewer: Nina

  Comments: We stayed for a week in Art and Ed's beautiful home. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed laughing with and chatting to Art around the kitchen table over a glass of wine or a coffee. Art and Ed were full of interesting and useful information about Manhattan, and the immediate neighbourhood of Chelsea. The location is fabulous - easy to access downtown or uptown Manhattan. We started most mornings setting off on The High Line on our adventures! There was always a roaring fire to greet us when we got in after a long day walking, shopping, sightseeing, eating and drinking. There's no place like New York at Christmas time, and there's no place like Art and Ed's for comfort, a warm friendly welcome, and superb hospitality. We'd like to think we've made new friends and would love to return sometime.

• Reviewer: Ingrid

  Comments: I've staid with Art and Ed for a second time during a business trip in NY. It's like staying with friends who make you feel extremely welcome and accommodate all my needs. They provide great insights on local news and surrounding area and provide great tips for restaurants and what to do nearby. It's a fantastic location for art lovers who want to check out local galleries or visit The Whitney and the Highline. Those coming to attend an event at the Jacob K. Javits centre can get there easily on foot, avoiding the hunt for taxis when trade shows finish. Thanks for making me feel so welcome again. x

It is a home where you will be welcomed with open arms, conversations about America, history, travel and food. A real New York experience where you get to meet and learn from the New Yorkers. I cannot recommend Art and Ed's place enough! Being next to the High Line is an interesting experience - you literally get to experience being a part of it ... The location in Chelsea is great and makes a good base to explore NYC. So go ahead and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience and stay with Art and Ed!

• Reviewer: Sonja

  Comments: Dear Art and Ed, having you host our first AirBnB stay was just the best thing that could have happened! I think your place is better than any hotel you could ever stay in. The seperate beds, the lovely bedroom, own bathroom an all those little details, the breakfast setup, the extra tooth brushes, I could go on... But the most important experience was meeting you two! I could have listened to your fabulous life experiences forever and I can imagine spending nights with you over discussing world politics with a good glass of wine. Travelling is made of who you meet. You made this trip very special! Would love to keep in touch! My offer is still in place: Please visit us in Stuttgart any time! my dearest regards, Sonja

  Comments: We stayed for a week and couldn't have been luckier. Not only is the apartment breathtaking with direct view on High Line it's also perfectly located in a charming neighborhood with two bus lines right in front of the house and the tube just two blocks away. But what really made our stay so outstanding was the warmth and kindness of Art and Ed. They made us feel like being their friends and have an incredible knowledge of New York. I could have listened to them for hours. There was always time for a chat or discussion about what ever was in our mind. We felt like home and will come back for sure!

• Reviewer: Meg

  Comments: This is the place. Seriously, look no further. We could not have possibly chosen a better place to stay, location in the city, or better hosts. ESPECIALLY if this is your first time to the city, Arthur and Ed are so incredibly helpful. They're so prepared for their guests, with lists of suggested things to see/do and food to eat. Some of the best food we had while in the city we would have never known about without their suggestions. They were also very helpful in figuring out the public transportation system, which was SO easy to use from their place. Art encouraged us to text him with any questions throughout our stay, and he responded every time, usually within just a couple minutes, to help us out with suggestions or transportation questions. I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else, just book this one now :-)

• Reviewer: Alina

  Comments: We had a great stay at Arthur's place. The room is comfortable and quiet which you don't find that often in NYC. Arthur was great in communicating with us, being flexible with our schedules and providing great tips on places to hang out. Will definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Gina

  Comments: I stayed here while in town for a trade show. The location could not have been better and the highline made the walk to the show so much more enjoyable. There are many great places to eat and a CVS right across the corner. Art and Ed were wonderful hosts. They offered many suggestions that never let us down. Their place is beautiful, very clean and super comfortable. I would return for the lovely stay but also for their fun company!

• Reviewer: Stéphanie

  Comments: Tout est parfait chez Arthur et Ed! La description reflète la réalité en tous points, la chambre donne au calme sur la high line donc pas de bruits pour dormir. L appart est bien situé pour accéder aux transports en commun, c est parfait pour découvrir la ville. On se sent " à la maison" tout de suite à l'accueil, la disponibilité et la gentillesse d Ed et Arthur. Leurs conseils et leur sélection de sites, de restos sont une mine d or! N hésitez pas

• Reviewer: Cathryn

  Comments: The location is unbeatable and the company is fantastic! Art and Ed are very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of NYC and have a lot of insight to offer. They were amazing hosts - kind, considerate, thoughtful, helpful and more. I highly recommend staying here for your next trip to the city.

• Reviewer: Arthur

  Comments: A beautiful home in a perfect location. As much privacy as we needed or wanted. Central to everything from the theatre district to the Village. A great place to stay for a vacation and much more affordable than a hotel.

• Reviewer: Roy

  Comments: Great place and close to transport and restaurants. Great location. True to description. Would highly recommend. Extremely helpful hosts. Good value. One flight of stairs to carry suitcases but Arthur did this but it was not expected.

• Reviewer: Anne

  Comments: A lovely welcoming home, more spacious than I expected in NYC. My (adult) son and I shared a room, but with a full kitchen and other areas available to us, we were quite comfortable and never crowded. And our hosts were welcoming if we wanted info or just to chat, but we also felt comfortable staying to ourselves. This was an amazing first-time airbnb experience

• Reviewer: Trinh

  Comments: LOCATION: right next to the beautiful Highline Park, a scenic (check out the architecture) short walk to subway, surrounded by bus stops, in the heart of gorgeous Chelsea - you won't be disappointed! Mum and I felt perfectly safe travelling to and from at all hours of the day and night. FOOD: We loved having so many great options for eating out right at our doorstep. Art and Ed kindly provided us with coffee and breakfast items and also recommended some awesome places to eat lunch and dinner. If you're lucky, they might even whip up their signature dishes for you - Ed, I'm still thinking about that Navy bean soup :) OUR ROOM: oh so comfy beds, perfect temperature, quiet (even though there was renovations happening in the building we didn't hear a thing), TV was great to chill out to, a big plus was power points everywhere for us to charge our gear, sufficient wardrobe space and the bathrobes were a lovely touch! We slept like babies. BATHROOM: Spotless, clean, our own space to use with everything we needed right next to our room which was super handy. KITCHEN: Personally, I loved this space the most as it was the hub of Art & Ed's place. A light filled, clean cozy area to have breakfast while watching people walk the highline, recount the day/night adventures to Art & Ed and if you're deemed acceptable, play with Castor & Pollux (the tabbies). Got my mum's stamp of approval for clean & tidy too :) LOUNGE: We used the kitchen area mostly but we loved the soft music in the lounge as we came home. ART & ED: Talk about raising the bar - my mum's bucket list trip to NYC was made extra special by these two stand-out hosts. Genuine care for our need for space and a willingness to interact with us, share their stories and listen to ours really helped us to connect with the new Manhattan. Art's communication from the start reassured us that things were organised! Art was instrumental in prioritising our sight-seeing (the UN tour & The MET rooftop was a great tip) - he's just a wonderfully kind person that we are so grateful to have met :) Ed is full of awesome stories and I wish we had more time to chat!! Thanks for the movie too Ed :) Castor & Pollux - the space wouldn't be fun without these gorgeous creatures. I'm not a cat person but I loved these two. They keep to themselves and are immaculately clean. VALUE: If you're looking for the best of NYC & Airbnb combined, you can't go wrong with these hosts. Can't recommend highly enough.

• Reviewer: Markus

  Comments: Simply a wonderful experience and highly recommendable ! It could not have been better.

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: Hard to know where to begin because everything was so perfect. Arthur and Ed have a beautiful penthouse in a quiet area of Chelsea. Close to public transport and just next to the Highlife park (which I highly recommend!). You really feel like a friend place instead of an Airbnb what is really appreciable. I can't say anything about cleaness because cleaner come before each stay. Arthur and Ed wrote a paper with all sites to visit in Manhattan. The paper is about 50pages. At this you should add all their advices and hacks! We followed their recommendations and our small 3days trip was so perfect! I'm not highly recommend to stay at their place, I would say you'll miss something if you're not going at their place! Wish you all the best for the future and thanks again for everything.

• Reviewer: Irma

  Comments: What can we say... we've had a n amazing stay with Artur, Ed and their 2 cats! ++ communication and support/advice for our stay (thanks Arthur and Ed!!), perfect balans privacy/interesting conversations, great spot (subway and bus nearby), breathtaking house, simpel but good breakfast, own fridge, good blinds, quiet bedroom because the bedroom is at the Highline...I could go on and on... thanks also to the former guests who leaved their subwaycards for us! -- we had to go home ;) We can absolutely recommend this great place!

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: This was my second stay at Art and Ed's and it was great from start to finish. Ed and Art really take trouble to make their guests feel welcome and are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and New York more generally. The appartment is lovely and the location is great - we went all over New York from here really easily. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: Whatever we say would not even begin to describe the amazing experience that we had at Art and Ed's place in the heart of Manhatten. The apartment is beautiful and to us it felt like home. But that is just the bonus. Meeting Art and Ed was what actually made our stay truly special. Dear future guests, you are in for a treat. You will meet two of the moat intelligent, kind, friendly and detail-oriented people, who would go the extra mile to make your stay in New York one to remember. History, cultural heritage,art, food, you name it... You will be treated to a comprehensive guide and isights that you can only get from real people and New Yorkers. Could not imagine a better location (view of ESB) through your living room window and the High Line 5, yes 5 meters away) and we can't wait to be back!!

• Reviewer: Shirley

  Comments: What a wonderful experience for a first AirBnB experience! We picked Arthur and Ed's place for the location and all the positive reviews and were not disappointed. Chelsea market, Greenwich village, Flatiron district can all be reached by foot or a short bus/subway ride away. Since several subway lines have stations on 23rd St., it is easy to access all parts of NYC without the fear of getting lost. We also felt very safe walking 'home' late at night. Arthur met us when we arrived and provided a great deal of useful information for us and answered a number of questions we had. We told him the sites we were visiting and he provided suggestions to restaurants that one would not typically find on tourist sites. BTW, we texted Arthur for the name of a restaurant he told us about previously when we were in the Financial district and he immediately responded with the info! He also recommended dinner at the Red Cat restaurant just below the townhouse since we were arriving in the evening and did not want to venture too far for a good meal. The Red Cat was wonderful and we would definitely eat there again. We can only second all the reviews about the wonderful accommodations, cleanliness, and continental breakfast provided. I especially enjoyed sharing a glass of wine and conversation with Arthur and Ed when we returned early one night. As mentioned in other reviews, they will provide as much privacy or conversation as their guest desired. Will not have to spend time looking for accommodations for our next visit to NYC, it will be at Arthur and Ed's.

• Reviewer: Cindy

  Comments: Nice host and location, definitely will visit again when back to NYC

• Reviewer: Sue

  Comments: Whatever you're planning to do in NYC won't be nearly as good as staying in with Art and Ed over dinner and refreshments. Our only regret is that we didn't stay in every evening with them! They're amazingly generous, incredibly accommodating, and hilariously entertaining. We'll never, and I truly mean NEVER, stay anywhere else when passing through NYC again. You won't regret any of it!! My fiance and I are the easy-going type from Ontario, Canada. We have family/friends in Toronto and all over GTA but we even try to avoid that bc of the crowds. So we weren't really looking forward to NYC, even though friends, family, and co-workers obviously gave rave reviews and plenty of suggestions on things to do. We were happy to find this gorgeous penthouse in Chelsea based on their 5 star reviews. Their hospitality is truly above 5. Art is prompt at getting to know you and eager to offer a true New Yorker experience. We were texting details about ourselves and our ideal NYC experience weeks/days before our arrival. We arrived several hours before check-in and Art nearly demanded we drop our things off and freshen up in their spare bathroom, even if we couldn't access our room yet. We felt so welcomed and ended up staying a couple hours that morning to "catch up". Our stay was almost 3 days and left feeling so satisfied with fitting several suggestions that suited us into our visit - nearly all of which were suggestions of Art and Ed's. They have wild schedules but never failed to be amazing hosts when we saw each other, like we'd known them for years. And like their site says, they always left coffee and breakfast options available in the mornings, clean accommodations and fresh towels. The rest of their place is spotless and beautifully decorated with all kinds of art and photographs. Art and Ed do well in keeping out of your hair while there, which my fiance and I usually prefer, but we just couldn't get enough of our conversations with them! My fiance proposed to be the day after we left Art and Ed's for our cruise and we both actually wished they had been there too to celebrate with us haha. They are, at the very least, the cherry on top of your NYC experience. But they were definitely our highlight!

• Reviewer: Karen

  Comments: A fantastic place to say, both Art & Ed make you feel right at home. Their support throughout our stay was far better than you could get at a hotel. Their beautiful home is so well placed, only a few steps to get on to the very popular Highline, 2 blocks from the subway and bus stops outside. Plenty of eating places nearby, with great recommendations from the guys. Short walk to the Whitney art gallery and really interesting Chelsea Market, but only 2 stops, on the subway then a couple of blocks walk from Times square or 5 minutes to the World Trade Centre stop and access to downtown. Breakfast being supplied was a lovely touch, plus use of a small fridge makes life easy. We would highly recommend a stay here and really hope that we are able to get back to New York and a stay here again as soon as we can. Thank you.

• Reviewer: Petra

  Comments: We were absolutely thrilled with Arthur's apartment, which is very well located. The apartment is nicely quiet, very clean and well furnished. You have a view of the HighLine which is right behind the house. We liked it very much, to walk on the HighLine. Nature in New York City. The area feels safe and there are lots of restaurants outside the door. Arthur was absolutely delightful with us, very obliging, always available and quick to answer our questions. We will recommend this host and lovely place.

• Reviewer: Ira

  Comments: Arthur is amazing. He is so kind and hospitable and his place is 12 on 10. There are no downsides and you will rarely ever find even a family member as hospitable and kind as Arthur. He was so sweet and even gave me a piece of luggage when I had some luggage issues. He truly is a gem as is his place. Staying at his place is a once in a time experience, so do it without any doubt.

• Reviewer: James

  Comments: A great location, not only for the Highline but also buses & subway. Plenty of space to feel at home. We loved it.

  Comments: Arthur and Ed have the gift of hospitality, of immediately making strangers feel at home. Can’t say enough good things about the accommodations, the assistance from our hosts, and the ambiance. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Everything was great- what a perfect location. Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed info about the area. I highly recommend Arthur’s space and will see if it works next time we are back in the area!

• Reviewer: Barb

  Comments: Our second stay with Art and Ed exceeded expectations. Who else would call us when we were enroute to the subway to let us know that our train wasn’t running and suggest an alternative? We love the homey atmosphere and are already looking forward to seeing Art, Ed and the kitties again next year.

• Reviewer: Rosalind

  Comments: I cannot recommend Arthur and Ed's home, hospitality and company enough. We were in New York for 4 days of theatre, art and sightseeing and this was the perfect place to stay, well located, comfortable, friendly. Arthur and Ed were full of tips and help and are a pleasure to stay with. I hope to stay again and will be recommending them to all of my friends!

• Reviewer: Ashleigh

  Comments: Everything about Art and Ed's place was fantastic. The pictures speak for themselves and the place was extremely cozy/homely. Not to mention they had the most beautiful Christmas tree we've ever seen. It was so much fun sitting by the fire at night - it even snowed twice while we were there. Coming from Australia we've never experienced a "White Christmas" but we can tick that off our bucket list now. The location was amazing, however we thought the highlight of our stay was getting to know Art & Ed/Caster & Pollux (their adorable kitties). They put so much time and effort into giving us tips and suggestions for things to do / places to eat / ways to get around. They went above and beyond! We loved spending time with them too having lots of chats about everything and anything. We learnt so much about Chelsea's History/ NYC's History etc. It was sad to leave, but hopefully we'll return to NYC one day soon! Art and Ed - We'll miss you guys and of course Pollux and Caster. Stay in touch :)

  Comments: Arthur is the most gracious and considerate host. His communication is timely and thoughtful of our needs. Unfortunately Mother Nature threw a huge storm at the east coast and our flights were cancelled and we did not end up making it to the city. Arthur was quick to respond and very understanding.

• Reviewer: Kate

  Comments: Fantastic location. Charming. Gracious host. Will definitely return again.

• Reviewer: Sally

  Comments: It is worth a trip to NYC JUST to stay in Ed's warm, comfortable and gorgeous home. We felt welcome and spoiled from the moment of our arrival. In Chelsea, within steps of the high line, this home occupies the 3rd and 4th story (penthouse) of a charming 4 story building. Our bedroom, looking out on the high line, was on the same floor as the kitchen and art filled dining and living rooms. Ed and Art gave us great advice on where to go and what to see. We had dinner at The Red Cat on the first floor of the building; it was the best meal we had! If you want to treat yourself to a pampered visit, stay here. Its proximity to the high line, subways and buses make it a convenient location no matter what you want to do. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the excellent continental breakfasts and the availability of our very own mini-fridge.

• Reviewer: Arif

  Comments: Arthur and Ed are amazing hosts and their place is immaculate, cool, comfortable and perfectly located to explore Manhattan. The room is very nice, with a view of the High Line. The beds and linen are top quality - just what you need after a full-on day (or days) of walking and exploring the city. Arthur and Ed are incredibly thoughtful, providing breakfast, toiletries, local tips and good humour. Our days were packed so we had very little time to chat to them but when we did they were great company. Honestly, I can’t think about anything negative about our stay. Exemplary!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: I don’t think you could do better than Arthur’s place. Great location. Great accommodation. And best of all, great hosts.

• Reviewer: Shuling

  Comments: Staying at Arthur and Ed's was all that I expected and more. The location was excellent - really right next to the Highline with lots of restaurants, cafes, diners etc nearby. Check-in and communication was super easy and painless. The bedroom and bath are as shown and very nicely appointed with lots of extra amenities like spare toothbrushes, soap & shampoo for guests. The rest of the penthouse apartment is also beautifully done up and is a place of light and space. Both Arthur and Ed provided lots of tips for local eateries, transport, things to do etc. Thoughtful touches included provisions for breakfast, a little fridge for my use, bottomless coffee. Their two cats showed up occasionally but in general were too shy to stay in the kitchen and guest areas. Above and beyond all this, Arthur and Ed are very warm and welcoming hosts, and we ended up hanging out in the kitchen having great fun discussing the "interesting times" that the USA finds itself in under its 45th President over some food and wine. For me, this interaction was the real plus point of my stay - it’s something that I look/hope for when I'm travelling solo and staying at Airbnb rooms, but which doesn’t always happen. Another plus point was the anti-Trump art in the windows which is a mini-tourist attraction on the Highline - LOL! Even though they were away for part of my stay, I felt completely secure and at ease in the apartment and with their house sitter. Arthur was always available if I needed to check anything and he also checked in regularly to see that I was ok. My brother and sis-in-law had travelled to NYC as well and there were no issues with them coming to the apartment to hang out before checking in to their hotel etc. In conclusion, I can’t recommend Arthur and Ed highly enough.

  Comments: Art and Ed excel as hosts. They go the extra mile to make their guests feel welcome. It was delightful to come back the apartment after a busy day sightseeing. They were happy to help us find our way around and offered excellent suggestions for places to eat or visit. The location is central, very close to transportation and is a pleasant area to walk in. The apartment is spacious and light filled, overlooking the Highline. We were able to cook in the kitchen. Our hosts provided makings for breakfast and treats which were much appreciated. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope to return soon!

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Why stay at the Plaza when you can stay here and get 5 star treatment for a pittance. Your room will have a view of the High Line. Your accommodations will be immaculate and welcoming. The location is perfect-walk the High Line to Chelsea Market, two subways stops within a couple of blocks, great restaurants close by - within walking distance of buses and Penn Station. Your hosts will provide breakfast and absolute privacy if that is your desire. We have stayed here twice and plan to return again and again for our biannual New York visits. These two are now dear friends. We wouldn’t THINK of stay elsewhere. This is home.

• Reviewer: Sean

I would definitely stay here again!

  Comments: Art and Ed were the most welcoming hosts ever. Due to flight delays, I wasn't able to check in until it was super late. In the back of my head, I was nervous since I was going to disrupt their sleep with all of the flight updates, but they were completely understanding the entire time and made me feel right at home from the start. The location was fantastic since it's right next to the High Line and close to the E train which made it super convenient to go to HK and Tribeca. Bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen amenities was top notch.

• Reviewer: Lisha

  Comments: Arthur’s place is right at Highline. We had no trouble getting to places, buses and subways, all nearby. Arthur and Ed are extremely considerate and thoughtful. Their home is lovely and clean. They had quite a setting for their guests, the morning coffee, breakfast and so on. I and my husband didn’t get much chance to talk to them but the short period we talked, you just know they’re nice and wonderful people. We had a great time staying at their home. We went to some places Arthur recommended. It was amazing. I highly recommend their home to anyone who wants to go to New York and enjoy.

• Reviewer: Denise

  Comments: This is the real deal! I will definitely be staying here when I visit New York again. Arthur and Ed are fantastic hosts. They are courteous, generous, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about NYC. You can learn lots of interesting facts about the history of Manhattan and Chelsea from them, as well as recommendations for food and activities. Their home is gorgeous and was much nicer to stay at than a hotel. One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had.

Art and Ed couldn’t have been more hospitable; great communication, and their wealth of knowledge and recommendations for both the neighborhood and NYC in general were invaluable. There were many thoughtful touches - our own refrigerator stocked with breakfast items, freshly brewed coffee every morning, toiletries and bathrobes - that all added to make this a great stay.

They also made some improvements around the house (like a fridge just for guests and better wifi), and they even had new recommendations of places for us to visit, so we had a great time again.

• Reviewer: Estelle

  Comments: I don’t think any review can really do this place justice. Arthur and Ed are welcoming and wonderful hosts, and their 2 cats are similarly charming. The apartment is beautiful, everything is immaculate and you are surrounded by more excellent restaurants than you can count. The highline is a literal stone’s throw away and Arthur and Ed are full of tips and suggestions in the unlikely event you find yourself short of things to do. This is Airbnb at its very best and our trip was immeasurably enhanced by staying here.

  Comments: Arthur and Ed are very nice host and they gave a lot of information which are very helpful for us whom come New York for the first time. They also prepared coffee/bread/juice/fruits with other food for breakfast. The room is super clean and the location is very convenient to everywhere. Subway station is just few steps away. The bus stop is downstairs. We went to / Whitney Museum of American Art— Andy warhol exhibition now / Nature history Museum / Wall street & Ellis island for Liberty Status / Lincoln Centre for concert/The Metropolitan Museum of Art. All places easy to go . There are many restaurants around the blocks, Some are 24 hours open.Supermarket is very nearby just cross the street. The apartment is located in the middle of highland park with nice view outside the window. For the persons who come New York the first time, it is a very good choice to stay at and highly recommended. By the way, Castor and pullox are lovely and friendly cats.
