Rachel's apartment was great, exactly as you can see in the pictures. The kitchen was perfect, it had a lot of things available to cook. We usually used a lot of public transport and the subway was 4 blocks away, so it was nice (the place is 35 min from Manhattan). The second floor can be a little bit hot during the summer (when we stayed there were 32°C), but it has AC available (a little of bit loud for the nights maybe). My parents loved the place, so I would recommend it.
