Rachel's place is absolutely wonderful, and all the reviews are spot on. The apartment is sparkling clean and has everything you will need for a great stay. The two bedrooms upstairs are super comfortable and air conditioned if necessary. Bathroom is also upstairs and squeaky clean. Downstairs is the well equipped kitchen, dining and living area, and there is also a patio for sitting outside. It is clear that a lot of thought has been given to supplying every necessity, from umbrellas to charging stations.
The L subway stop is about a 6 minute walk away and will bring you to Manhattan in around 30 minutes (add time for uptown, obviously).
Overall this is an absolute gem in the often depressing and overpriced NYC hotel/airnnb scene. Thank you, Rachel!
