We were here as a family of four and spent five lovely days in Rachels wonderful apartment! It was our first time in New York but the apartment is conveniently located - there is a bus to Union square right in front of the house, another one that goes to the Financial District just around the corner and it's only a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station (East Broadway) which takes you down 5th avenue - and we were able to make our way around the city easily. The apartment itself was extremely clean and made us feel at home immediately. Rachel was a great host, had lots of helpful info for food around the area prepared and was always friendly and very helpful! On the last day we checked out in the morning but were still able to store our luggage in her office (just one floor below) until we left for the airport.
