I was traveling to NYC for a 5 day conference. Rachel was very helpful and responsive! The room is in a building next door to their residence, so it really is like a nice, completely separate hotel room. It's in an awesome area of town that fits exactly what you think when you think classy New York. It has a great updated style that is clean and modern. The outdoor patio is great for a chill get together with friends. The sleeper sofa was just like a nice queen size bed; not at all like a sofa. They have an apple TV for having a relaxing night after sightseeing all day. Paid Washer and Dryer are just a floor down, so you won't have to travel with as many extra clothes. There is a great Market and easy access to the 1 train 2 blocks away. Also, one of the best bagel places in NYC is just across the street (Absolute Bagels). I also had an awesome burrito with friends at the modern mexican restaurant on the same block. Oh and the apartment is steps away from Riverside park on the Hudson. I will definitely be looking to stay in one of Rachel's rooms next time I'm in NYC.
