My girlfriend and I were in NYC for her 30th birthday and looking for a somewhere quiet but with enough going on nearby. Rachel's place was truly brilliant for our trip to New York. From the minute I contacted Rachel, she made the whole experience really easy and was very quick to respond.

We arrived late on a Weds but Rachel had arranged for a friend to handover keys. The place was amazingly clean and tidy and such a fantastic space! It was huge, warm and beautifully decorated inside. The area it was in was fantastic - really laid back but with loads going on as well. It was well connected to everywhere we wanted to go. Rachel's recommendations were also spot on, and also had loads that you wouldn't find in any guidebook! We had a number of great meals at the local restaurants as well as some great evenings at some of the local bars in the neighbourhood.

I could go on and on, but all I would say is you should definitely stay here! In a trip to a city with so much to do, it was this place we've been telling people about as the highlight of our time in New York. We didn't want to leave, and will definitely come back if we're welcome. It was the perfect combination of a great space, a great location and a wonderful host who made things easy, was friendly, and had left the place in immaculate condition. We look forward to coming back!

Thanks so much Rachel - you really made our trip truly perfect and something we'll never forget.
