A Garden in Chelsea

A Garden in Chelsea: New York

The location alone of A Garden in Chelsea is fantastic. It’s right in the middle of yes Chelsea, but protected from the noise and hubbub, on a quiet, tree-lined street full of classic brownstones. While it lacks pomp, there’s something to be said for that, and instead it has plenty of historical charm – with things like the piano really helping in that respect – wrapped up in a comfortable, approachable package.


Home truths:
*This is a classic brownstone and there's no concierge or lift
*It's possible to accommodate two additional guests on the sofa bed in the living room
*A cot is available for a family with a toddler
*The kitchen is all right for one, but two in there is a bit of a squeeze
*It’s a lived-in home – expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings
