Rachel was a kind and interesting host. She allowed me to drop my bag off early and talked to me about art while her guest prepared to leave her home. She gave me some good ideas about places to visit that were very helpful. Her living room was like a garden and felt very comfortable. The location was only about a block from the subway and easy to get to from JFK airport. The sound of the subway was there but not uncomfortable. Having a supermarket across the street was very convenient. The room size was adequate and the bed comfortable. I would be happy to stay with Rachel again next year.
