We enjoyed our stay at Rebekah's place. She was very good to communicate with and provided us with much detail and very helpful instructions on the apartment plus the local area. The neighbourhood is as described - lots of interesting friendly people in a pretty run down area. We didn't mind this but it may not suit everyone. We stayed 5 nights at Rebekah's and purchased the weekly Metro card which made it easy for catching the 40 minute train to Manhattan. It was tiring heading back after a long day out but we found it nice to get back to Rebekah's place at the end of each day. It was extremely hot so the air conditioning was good to have. The apartment was much quieter than we expected and we didn't have any issues sleeping. The bed and sofa lounge bed are very comfortable and beautiful thick bath towels were provided. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook although it's a little cramped. It's handy having salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee & tea. The apartment is indeed very cozy once you pull one of the sofa beds out so it's good to just be prepared for that. We liked the small street and the easy access to a ground floor apartment from the street level. Rebekah was very helpful with accommodating us with a later than expected check-out at the last minute which was extremely kind of her as I know she needed access to preparing the apartment that same day for another guest booking.
