Travel nurse housing in Manhattan, for the length of a contract

The A, C and 1 trains are a very short walk from the door, which puts most of Manhattan’s big hospitals twenty to thirty-six minutes away by subway: Mount Sinai West in twenty, NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan in eighteen, Bellevue in twenty-six, NYU Langone in twenty-nine, and the East Side campuses of Lenox Hill, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell and the Hospital for Special Surgery in the low thirties. Lenox Health Greenwich Village is an eleven-minute walk, no train needed.

The table above is measured door to door on a weekday. A night shift will be quicker on the way in and slower on the way home, and a subway that runs all night is the reason many nurses choose Chelsea over somewhere cheaper further out.

Everything is already here. A king bed in the bedroom, a chef’s kitchen with a Wolf oven, a new refrigerator, a dishwasher and an espresso machine, and a dining table that expands to seat six if colleagues come over. The building has laundry, and gym access is free. WiFi is 1 gigabit, and there are two workspaces with a large monitor and a printer for the paperwork every contract seems to generate.

This is our own apartment, not a unit fitted out for turnover. The one thing that is not yours is a single small closet we keep for ourselves.

The apartment is a place to switch off. Lights, air conditioning and shades answer to your voice, so the room can go dark and cool without getting up. There is a smart television, a sound system and a record player for the evenings, and a garden patio with a grill for the days off. Chelsea Market is a five-minute walk for groceries, and the High Line is right there for a run before or after work.

You book on the Chelsea Home page on this site, directly with us. It is the same calendar as our Airbnb listing, so the availability is identical, but booking here means you are not paying Airbnb’s guest service fee on a three-month stay. Rates for your dates show in the calendar before you commit. If your assignment gets extended, ask early and we will do what we can with the calendar.

Tell us your assignment dates when you enquire. Check-in and check-out times, the address and how to get into the building are in your booking confirmation and the house manual we send before you arrive.

Stays are a minimum of 28 nights, which suits a 13-week contract. Dogs are accepted under the same policy as our Airbnb listing, and because dogs have stayed we cannot guarantee the apartment is entirely free of dog hair. One small closet is off-limits. The apartment sleeps two; it is not offered as a room in a shared home.
