Rachel was amazing. The cats are adorable. The area is accessible. Really, this is one of the best places we've stayed. It's not a 5-star hotel, but it's a well lived-in home. Rachel's personality permeates through the entire apartment's decor. There's an adjustable shower head, and the towels are huge and very soft. The living room is a great, welcoming space and your room is right by the kitchen, so you never feel like you're imposing by using it. There are two very sweet cats-be careful because one likes to try and run out the door when you come in! There's AC; Rachel provides any toiletries you may have forgotten; the TV has cable; Internet was fantastic; there's a tv tray in the room in case you'd like to eat in there. I could go on about what the apartment has. However, the best part of the apartment is Rachel herself. She is an extremely intelligent, involved, well-travelled, and most importantly FRIENDLY person. Our previous AirBnB experiences were mainly us staying in our room, but with Rachel we preferred to leave the door open. She makes great conversation and knows everything about the city. She has great food recommendations and is constantly out and about at different events. She can give you great advice on what to see, and we used her restaurant recommendations more than a couple of times when we wanted to go out! She didn't mind that we made a mess of the room while we were there, and we were so delighted that we booked the place for another week! It was great to stop host-hopping, and we believe we may have made a new friend in this experience! Thank you Rachel!!
PS if you have any trouble with the litter box, make sure to spray the febreeze Rachel graciously leaves in the bathroom! She cleans it very frequently, but I know not everyone is used to living with cats.
