Me and my friends stayed in one of Rachels apartment for two months, and it was a real pleasure. The apartment was really nice, newly renovated and had everything we were in the need for. Since we stayed there for two months we wanted to see more of Manhattan and the area around the apartment than just the touristy places, and Rachel gave us great tips on what to see, where to go and where to eat.

The area is really nice, both during day time and night time. Colombia University with it's beautiful buildings is a couple of blocks away, West Side Market (Grocery store at 110th) offer great fresh food, nice bread and already-cooked food. Riverside Park is a park one block from the apartment, next to Hudson River and is beautiful both for walking or running. The Mexican restaurant just at the corner of 108th and Broadway have great food and good drinks, it soon became our favorit place. Me and my friends often arrived home late at night, both with cab and with the subway, and we never had any problems or felt unsafe.

I would recommend Rachel and this apartment to anyone and if I ever go back to New York, I will surely rent an apartment with Rachel again.
