We stayed at Rachel and Ben's apartment for a couple days in February - we loved it! It has a great location, which we could explore with the help of tips provided by the hosts, and we could walk pretty much all of Manhattan, which we enjoyed a lot. For not-so-much enjoyers of walking there are plenty bus and metro stops in the neighbourhood. The apartment itself is rather spacey and open, so you can enjoy the morning sun. It has all you need - a nice kitchen, where you can cook and then a nice table to eat your meal, a TV room with a cozy sofa, and a nice bedroom with a big comfy bed. We had such a great stay in NY and Rachel's apartment definitely played a big role in making our trip awesome. I definitely recommend to stay there if you can!
