We stayed in Rachel's apartment for 5 nights during our stay in NYC. Overall impression on entering the apartment was that it was nicer & more spacious
than I had remembered from the photos.We were late getting in & Rachel kindly checkin to se we were okay. Rachel had left us a bottle of wine & an impressive box of Espresso.
The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook there, we did minimal as were out during the days. Rachel also had towels & shampoo & conditioners which were very handy.Location is very good, only a 5 minute walk to the Subway station 135 street which means your downtown- Times Square in 15-20 minutes.
We also ran down to Central Park (North 110 street) which is approx 1.2 miles & Yankee Stadium is about the same distance north.
The only point which may be worth making about the location for probably women in particular is that on walking back from the subway on two occasions me & my sister got some undesirable comments from the men in the street I.e telling us how beautiful we look etc (LOL) so if someone was a lone traveller or women only just be prepared for that. Overall we loved New York & definitely hope to come back!!
