I was reluctant to visit New York until our friends recommended staying at a Garden In Chelsea.( perhaps I'd been watching too many US crime shows) Safe ,walking distance to restaurants, the Chelsea market , a couple of subway stops from all the delights of Broadway the myriad of mind blowing museums and art galleries in Manhattan. For Australian readers it felt safer than staying in Carlton but with more convenient public transport and more variety of eating options . Karen and Paul our delightful hosts helped us with great clear directions and were able to give advice on restaurants and the best shows to see.The accommodation was roomy and very comfortable.Highly recommended

Great place to stay in a very central location. Very peaceful spot in Chelsea, providing a relaxing stay in busy NYC. There are great restaurants nearby providing plenty of choice. The owners Karen & Paul were extremely helpful in all aspects with this place proving to be a gem. Highly recommended.

Comfortable place, friendly owners, handy for grocery shops and restaurants, everything you need really. The area has been gentrifying, due to High Line nearby, so it wouldn't be for you if you were looking for urban grit.
I have just returned from this gem in Chelsea after spending a week with an old school friend of 40 years. I looked at lots of places but chose this one based on the pictures, location and reviews. I was not disappointed.
The location is in a beautiful street lined with trees and it has its own private garden.
We were in the basement yet plenty of natural light and would imagine it is lovely in the summer with the doors and windows open. It is fully furnished with everything you could possibly need and indeed you could cook if you wanted to but why would you when you are surrounded by some wonderful local restaurants. There are deli's galore, bakers, galleries and even cleaners who do your laundry the same day and you pay by the pound( weight).
The High Line is down the road as is the Chelsea Pier where we went on a sailing trip down the river and had great views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The Chelsea Markets are a short walk as is the subway.
The bathroom is very spacious for New York and very new. The apartment is very clean and nicely furnished,
Karen, the owner is so easy to communicate with and every detail is attended to promptly. As well as that, she is very friendly and helpful and knows everything about the area and will help you with any arrangements you need to make.
Having stayed in hotels in New York, I much prefer this and have already booked for another visit with my husband later in the year.
Having read the reviews for A Garden in Chelsea on Tripadvisor, we arrived with the expectation of an excellent stay! We were not disappointed - Paul sat waiting for us on the steps when we arrived and helped with the luggage. Our apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Karen was very helpful with printing theatre tickets and arranging taxi transport to JFK. The Chelsea area has many very good restaurants and close proximity to the subway makes for reaching any destination in New York with ease. I can highly recommend A Garden in Chelsea for people wanting a home from home experience
