 Room description
 


    Though small, this brightly colored studio apartment fits the vibrant energy of the surrounding area of the Meatpacking district. The view is absolutely breath taking from the window and the two twin beds and accompanying red love seat makes this the perfect size for two travelers. The decorative style is a delightful mix of modern and classic: modern with the taste in furnishing and blazing red and yellow tones/ classic with the charming small tiling and basin like shape of the bathtub. This apartment is located on the 3rd floor in a private walk up building and comes equipped with a full bathroom and kitchenette. The kitchenette includes a gas stove top, oven, small refrigerator, sink, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, flatware, silverware, and other necessary kitchen utensils. As with all of our apartments, bed linens and towels are provided and we offer high speed cable Internet access. The Meatpacking District is New York's most fashionable neighborhood, boasting a rapidly thriving nightlife scene. Hip and trendy, this neighborhood contains some of the foremost trendsetting shops in the NYC area. You will be seconds away from the best cafes and restaurants, not to mention directly next door to the popular nightclub/eatery "The Diner". And, for those "Sex and the City" fans out there, the Meatpacking District is the neighborhood in which Samantha Jones, the fiery sexpot, resided. And once you walk though the stone streets of the area you'll see why the neighborhood fit her character so well. The Meatpacking District is within a 5 minute walk from other famous neighborhoods such as the West Village, Chelsea, and Greenwich Village.

 
   
   
   
   

 Description of the area - West Village
 


    The West Village is western portion of the Greenwich Village neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Though there are no defined boundaries, the area is usually defined as bounded by the Hudson River and either Sixth Avenue or Seventh Avenue, extending from 14th Street down to Houston Street. Bordering neighborhoods include Chelsea to the north, the Hudson Square section of SoHo to the south, and the core of Greenwich Village to the east. The area is part of Manhattan Community Board 2. A sub-neighborhood, the Far West Village, extends from the Hudson River to Hudson Street. The neighborhood is distinguished by streets that are "off the grid" — set at an angle to the other streets in Manhattan — sometimes confusing both tourists and city residents alike. These roads were laid out in the 18th century, approximately parallel or vertical to the Hudson, long before the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 which created the main street Grid plan for the rest of the city. Even streets that are nominally part of the grid can be idiosyncratic, at best. West 4th Street crosses West 10th, 11th and 12th Streets, ending at an intersection with West 13th Street. Heading north on Greenwich Street, West 12th Street is separated by three blocks from Little West 12th Street, which in turn is one block south of West 13th Street. Known as "Little Bohemia" starting in 1916, West Village is the center of the bohemian lifestyle on the West Side, with classic artist's lofts (Westbeth Artists Community) and new residential towers designed by American architect Richard Meier facing the Hudson River at 173-176 Perry Street. The Meatpacking District at the top of this neighborhood, also known as the "Gansevoort Historic District", is filled with trendy boutiques and night clubs. The High Line project plans to connect the historic district to the art galleries in Chelsea and points north. In the plan, elevated train tracks running parallel to Tenth Avenue will be converted to an open greenway. The tracks once served the businesses in the area, but have been long abandoned. Instead of demolishing the structure, the unique features will be used to benefit the entire city.
