Exploring New York City from your Vacation Rental in Chelsea

If you are deciding on an apartment in New York City then Chelsea is an excellent choice. Once a mostly industrial area it was taken over by artists and gallery owners and now boasts some of New York’s best restaurants bars and shops. It also has the High Line. This was once an elevated railway line, which in 2009 was converted to an urban park and walkway. Running from the Meatpacking district to the north of Chelsea, it provides a fabulous walk with amazing views of the city. The Chelsea Market takes up the old Nabisco factory and is full of shops and eateries, while galleries like the Gladstone and Gagosian draw in visitors from all over the city and beyond.

Alternatives to accommodation in Chelsea

Your Chelsea apartment undoubtedly provides an excellent central base from which to explore Manhattan. To the south there is Battery Park and the ferries to Liberty Island and to the north the Empire State Building and Broadway. Central Park is just a little further north and beyond that urban paradise a vacation rental in Harlem awaits. One of New York’s most iconic neighborhoods, Harlem is recovering from years of decline and neglect. Now you can explore Little Senegal on 116th Street or explore the African markets and soul food joints. On 125th Street there is a gaudy mix of preachers and hawkers, while historic venues like the Apollo Theater remain.

Moving on from Chelsea and New York

Leaving the east coast, why not head to the west coast and for a complete change of pace a holiday apartment in San Franciscoawaits. This compact city of steep hills, cable cars and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge once thrived because of shipping and the gold rush but now moves to a more gentle beat of laid back liberalism. From such modern cities to the Eternal City and a vacation rental in Rome where you can enjoy exploring the sights of more than 2,000 years of history. Walk in Caesar’s footsteps in the forum and throw your coins in the Trevi fountain to ensure your return.
