Rachel's spacious apartment was warm and welcoming as I arrived during one of the coldest weeks in February. She was there to greet me and made me feel right at home, showing me where things in the kitchen were, giving me directions regarding the subway, and informing me of the time the great grocery across the street from her closes. The room was cozy but very comfortable with a twin bed and small table. Most importantly: I was warm!...this cannot taken for granted during an NYC winter!...I would definitely stay with Rachel again and encourage other airbnbers to do so as well ;)
