Our first stay with Outside in Manhattan (Chelsea neighborhood) was good by standards of hospitality & accommodations, and excellent by technological features;
It was a clean or comfortable place to set up as homebase, and I felt confident that I would be able to work online & conduct video conference meetings.
Centrally located within walking distance of any convenieces or leisure activities that I wanted. High walkability rating!
The self-help hospitality gave a sensation of autonomy, albeit the community vibe could have been more collaborative (enough of the guests were too much like college dorm mates) albeit many of the guests were friendly, generous, and community-minded. The community manager has an opportunity to significantly impact the community collaboration.
I look forward to trying other Outside facilities throughout the world.
Outsite Chelsea is in a great location and offers a large kitchen/living area, several work spaces and good, basic rooms. There are nice garden and rooftop spaces and the staff was very responsive. Definitely recommended!
Overall it’s a recommendable place. But as stated by other users the bathroom cleaning situation needs to be revised. One cleaning per week is just to little for a bathroom that 5-10 people use. Bathrooms also don’t have windows. We also came to the place and didn’t have enough towels in the room.
Cecile was very polite and easy to approach.
However there is no reception or no one in the place permanently so if there is an issue it might take a day or so to be resolved.
Location is very nice, and common areas are also nice and clean.
Rooftop is very nice too
I stayed here for one week. I enjoyed my stay here. The house is beautiful, clean and has stable WiFi. I worked for 2 days and did not have any problems. My room was nice and clean! I had a nice ensuite bathroom with my room and enjoyed the convenience. I was in the basement (w a nice window) and the walls are very thin. I could hear outside chatter and the front door opening and closing each time.
Chelsea was a nice stay with clean rooms, solid location, nice bathrooms, great guests, and a good shared kitchen and workspace. Unfortunately, there were issues with the wifi two out of the three days I stayed which required me to work from a co-working space and a cafe which caused unexpected logistics and out of pocket costs, but I believe these are isolated issues. The Community Manager was helpful and responsive. The bedroom was tiny, but the bed was super comfortable. Overall, a positive stay, reasonable rate, and some minor issues with the wifi workspace.
I stayed at the Outsite Chelsea house for 2 weeks. Overall I really enjoyed it and will likely try it again! Can't beat the price and location!
PROs:
- My stay at the Chelsea location in Outsite was generally enjoyable.
- The property appears to have been recently renovated, giving it a fresh and modern feel. I hope it can be maintained in this way —already some of the furniture/wardrobes had begun to have misaligned door panels and broken handles.
- Fantastic location in Chelsea, absolutely couldn't be beat!
- The shared spaces were beautifully designed and well-maintained.
- The workspace provided was aesthetically pleasing and conducive to productivity.
- I had a clean room, and it was notably quiet as my room was situated at the back of the house.
- The cleanliness, tidiness, and tranquility of the property were well-maintained when there were fewer guests.
- I received my Amazon package without any issues, which added to the convenience of my stay.
- The price for my stay was excellent and represented great value
- I think the demographics of the house were pretty evenly split 50% women and 50% men which was nice and added to my level of safety as a solo traveler
- Met amazing other Outsite stayers who shared meals, watched shows, and went out together :)
CONS:
- The bathrooms at times were not as clean as expected (ex. finding random stranger's beard hairs in the sink or leaks on the toilet seat) and I don't think anyone's cleaned the Brita filter in months. Complimentary cleaning service comes once a week, but could probably benefit from more :)
- The website lacked clarity regarding the accessibility of the house, and there was no assistance with luggage, which may catch guests off guard.
- There was an unexpected situation where the Brooklyn Outsite house was abruptly closed, and guests were relocated to the Chelsea house... It would be reassuring to see a public resolution from Outsite regarding this matter, as it raises concerns about future stays with the company due to the lack of transparency surrounding the incident.
- The wifi was in and out the last few days of my stay, which was extremely inconvenient. It also doesn't reach the 4th floor - so beware!
The location is hard to beat, and over all a secure and well renovated building. Shower was good, bed was good, but the windows are a mess. They have absolutely no noise or weather insulation. The community manager is wonderful, she responded to my texts super quick and had great recommendations.
