Rachel’s place is a true gem of a find. If it’s available then grab it while you can.
It was as good, if not better than the photographs. We wanted something unique for our first trip to New York and it was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment is self contained but spacious and airy. Lovely little touches of interesting objects and furnishings making it feel like you are sharing someone’s personal taste. We loved it at Rachel’s. Yes it is on the ground floor and yes it opens straight out onto the street but don’t let that put you off. Usual noise from the street but for light sleepers there are squishy earplugs available if you are wanting an early night.
The location is perfect for exploring Manhattan, literally starting at the bottom and working your way all the way up to the top. Then there is Brooklyn bridge minutes away and the ferry to Staten Island close by. Seaport is an up and coming area with bars and restaurants for all tastes but not noisy and full on.
Go.... you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Rachel for a very pleasant stay.
