“From our initial communication through to welcoming us with such warmth and hospitality into their fabulous loft apartment, Steve and Elisa were fantastic exchange partners. Located in the Chelsea District, the apartment is spacious and light with every home comfort. I could not recommend exchanging with them more highly. Staying literally round the corner from Times Square, Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building was a tremendous experience. Thank you Steve and Elisa for making wonderful memories possible.”

About our home
Our 150-meter recently renovated loft in Manhattan's exciting Chelsea neighborhood is truly unique. Perched on the top floor of a 1909 building with two elevators, it has wonderful light from two large skylights and tall front windows that provide a view of city rooftops and skyscrapers. It has a huge, fully equipped, open kitchen that looks onto a 70-meter living room/dining area with beautiful hardwood flooring. The dining area contains a large table under the skylight that seats up to 10 people. In the living room there are four sofas, cable TV, DVD and stereo. There are two bedrooms, one full bathroom with a tub, shower, sink and toilet, and another, separate toilet. The master bedroom is 18-meters with a Queen-sized bed. The second bedroom is 10-meters with a single bed, but we can provide a Queen-sized bed if you need one. The apartment has central air conditioning, high speed internet, local telephone and is fully furnished. Because it is located mid-block on a side street, it is quiet at night.

Steven's reviews
As a host (1)More about us
-
We are Steven and Elisa, a married couple in our early fifties and sixties, and Sarah, our beautiful fourteen-year old daughter. Steve is a retired executive from the wine business, born and raised in New York City. All three of us enjoy traveling whenever we can. In fact, Sarah is already a veteran traveler, with her own frequent flyer plan! We love exploring the streets and boulevards of a new city, visiting museums, picnicking in parks, enjoying great food, art and culture, as well as nature and outdoor activities. We are now veteran home-exchangers, having done it five times. Now we would never travel any other way! It's the ideal way to visit another country while feeling like a resident. We hope our apartment can help make your stay in New York your best vacation ever.

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Chelsea, one of Manhattan's most vibrant, varied, and safe neighborhoods, is full of shops, restaurants, art galleries, cinemas, cafes, theaters, clubs, grocery stores, nightlife, sports, etc. It is a great place for kids, too, with playgrounds everywhere. You will be right in the center of everything. It is only a 5-minute walk to the Empire State Building, Herald Square (Macy's, Lord and Taylor), the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. The West Village, Meatpacking District, Times Square, 5th Avenue shopping, the Theater District, Grand Central Station and the High Line are all within 10 - 20 minutes walking. The major West-side Subway (#1, 2, 3 trains) has a station on our corner and all the other major lines have stations within 3 - 5 blocks.
