We had just a wonderful time at Rachels place. The apartment exceeded expectations. It was stylish, well maintained and beautifully appointed. The location is perfect for exploring uptown or down. Rachel has this host thing down pat - all the information you need and very prompt to respond to any questions, all with a sense of humor.
GoGo the cat is a bonus companion - quiet and charming.
Gregorys Coffee downstairs is great and don't miss Gramercy Tavern. You can book a table but dinner at the bar was our favorite.
