Overall, Rachel's place was functional and adequate, but no more than that. I was expecting a lot more based on many, many 5-star reviews. Not sure if I missed something? I have AirBnB'd all over the country and world and have a good sense of what a standard AirBnB experience is. This one fell short. PROS: Great location in Little Italy; easy check-in; very clean and the host seemed nice based on limited message communication (although we did not interact in person). CONS: Very noisy (street/airplane/running toilet/neighbor practicing musical instrument); bed/pillows were creaky, low-quality and uncomfortable for me (I'm typically a sound sleeper and can sleep anywhere without much problem); slow and/or no response time from the host that unnecessarily forced me to delay check-in by several hours; the bathroom could use a facelift; no cable TV (not even ESPN or CNN), just local channels. Bottom line: it's a functional space that is adequate if you need it primarily to stash your belongings, but for a business traveler or one needing a quieter environment, you might consider paying a little more for a higher quality product. Rachel's place is not bad. I just had a very average experience.
