We loved staying in Outsite New York, the rooms were clean, the common areas were well equipped and it was overall a spacious building. We met a lot of people and it was very fascinating to share our experiences together. I love this concept and we will definitely try it again in other Outsites around the world.
The mansion is beautiful and location is good, not too close to chaos and not too far from the Village 🏡
Outsite Chelsea is in an excellent location, surrounded by great places to eat and with easy access to the E subway line. The building is nicely finished, and the shared spaces are a real highlight, particularly the well-equipped kitchen, garden, and rooftop deck.
The rooms, however, are small, sparse, and rather impersonal. Mine had an ensuite bathroom, although it was tiny, while many rooms share bathrooms. The synthetic duvet was also uncomfortably hot at night and couldn't be changed. Overall, the property feels rather like an upmarket student dormitory. A few thoughtful touches could make the bedrooms considerably more welcoming.
At around $330 per night, even after discounts plus paying for an annual membership, it's certainly not inexpensive.
Communication was rather slow, particularly when I accidentally left a jacket behind. It took some time to receive a response and locate it. Thankfully, it was eventually found, but more timely and effective communication would have made the experience much better.
Would I stay again? Possibly. If Outsite were significantly cheaper than comparable hotels, the location and communal facilities would make it worth considering. But at similar prices, I'd choose the comfort, privacy, and service of a good hotel.
It's a promising concept, but the accommodation and service need to match the price.
Really enjoyed my stay at Outsite Chelsea NYC! Location is mega central with lots of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, gyms/classes, supermarkets nearby. The house itself was really clean and spacious, and always kept spotless. Multiple spaces to work, and was great to meet various like minded digital nomads. Kitchen was well equipped with every utensil and appliance you could think of. Rooms were fit for purpose (I wish they were a bit bigger). Basic toiletries were provided upon arrival which was a blessing when arriving very early morning. Lastly, having washer/dryer facilities on site were super useful for a longer stay. Overall would highly recommend!
A home, a community and the whole of New York outside
I chose Outsite Chelsea as my home base for a month in New York, so that I could explore the city as much as possible while still having a comfortable and reliable place to work from — and it turned out to be absolutely perfect for that.
The house itself is beautiful, spacious and incredibly well organized, with everything you could possibly need. Everything feels high quality, from the appliances to the furnishings, and even though it is a shared house, there is plenty of personal space to store your things and really feel at home.
I was also genuinely impressed by how respectful everyone was of the common areas. Everything was always spotless, including the shared bathroom — which honestly never felt like a compromise at all. And special mention to the amazing shower! The possibility of scheduling room cleaning when needed was also incredibly convenient, and the Community Manager was always kind, responsive and happy to accommodate any request.
One of the best parts of the experience, though, was definitely the community. Staying at Outsite gave me the chance to meet so many interesting people from different places, exchange ideas and recommendations, and spontaneously organize things together — rooftop yoga, morning runs, drinks, concerts and plenty of other little New York adventures. It made the whole month feel much richer and more memorable, and was such a wonderful way to meet new people while still having all the independence and privacy you want.
And, on the small but very important details: the coffee was excellent — and there was even an Italian moka!
I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a month in New York. Outsite Chelsea gave me exactly what I was looking for: a beautiful, comfortable home, a perfect setup for working remotely, and a genuinely special community experience.
The room was nice and clean with air conditioning. The shared areas were also tidy, except for the bathrooms. The bathroom on the second floor had a very strong sewage smell, and dirty water was dripping from the ventilation above the toilet. I hope the staff will fix this issue asap. Apart from that, I am satisfied.
