We booked a last minute long weekend trip with our 9 month old daughter to NYC because we saw Rachel's place was available. It really is even better than the photos - extremely well laid out, spacious and thoughtful details. Parking in the neighborhood was really easy so we had our car without any hassel. The neighborhood is awesome (super close to restaurants on Franklin, close to the park and and extremely safe - we walked around with our daughter in the stroller and carrier with no problems. Rachel is an extremely thoughtful and gracious host; she arranged for some food items to be in the apartment when we checked in since we had our daughter with us. I reached out about caffeinated coffee pods for the machine in the apartment and she even made the effort to get some that would come during our stay. She also let us borrow her pack n play and booster seat which lessened what we had to pack up for the weekend and our daughter was thrilled with the set of foam blocks she had set out for us. We even got to say hi to her kids as we were coming and going and got a chance to chat with her about the neighborhood and her experience in NYC. We'll definitely be back and I hope more people get to experience Brooklyn from her spot!
