First of all the location is perfect. It is on the no. 11 busline and on the no. 91 busline. You can get anywhere in the city from using these buses. More importantly, the place was very clean and comfortable. We travel alot, both domestically and internationally, and Rachel's place is among the best we have stayed at. Rachel is very easy to deal with and she accommodated all of our requests. The place is well equipped, and the washer/dryer can in handy. In addition, to the proximity to the bus lines, above, the neighborhood has just about anything you may want, from cafes to restaurants, to stores. The food market is a 10 minute walk from Rachel's place.
