We picked Rachel's place because it was very close to our conference venue and it was right in the heart of Little Italy next to all the hip restaurants/bars (and walking distance from Extraordinary Desserts). From the outside, it doesn't seem like anything spectacular, but once you walk in, it's a whole new world. Rachel has decorated this place with a lot of cool artwork, and the cozy furniture and rugs warm up the concrete crib. The one thing I wished was better about this place is the bathroom. It is a bit outdated and could be cleaner.
