Five of us stayed at Rachel's apartment and had a fantastic time. The apartment itself is super clean and very nicely furnished with everything you'd expect. Rachel was very quick in her responses before we arrived, and was on hand to provide extra information at check in and during our stay - we particularly appreciated her recommendations for food in the area and unusual things to do. We used the subway on a daily basis (mainly the A trains from Utica station) without issue and the neighbourhood was quiet at night. We ate at Tamra's (one of Rachel's recommendations) a few blocks away from the apartment and the food was GREAT. We would definitely stay at Rachel's again, and would not hesitate to recommend.
