Me and my partner stayed in Rachel's apartment for 7 nights and found it the perfect base for out first visit to NYC from London. Rachel was very helpful prior to our visit, answering all of our questions regarding planning our trip.

We arrived late but the process was made very simple by having the keys locked in a safe. It was also nice to know that Rachel lived above the apartment if we needed anything, which we didn't as the apartment was so well stocked. Wine, snacks and milk were provided for our arrival which made us feel very welcome. Rachel came down to meet us and spent time giving us advice and tips which we really appreciated. She also left printed out info including suggestions for nearby shops, cafe's, restaurants, etc which was great.

The apartment itself is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, we cooked breakfast each morning which saved us money buying breakfast out each day. I particularly liked the fact that no-one lives there, so it has no clutter. Also the bed was extremely comfy!

We found the location very handy, I was concerned prior to our stay that Harlem may be too far out but it wasn't at all. We got used to the subway very quickly and there are several stops within a few minutes walk from the apt, so we could get around the whole of the city easily and quickly. We didn't spend too much time in Harlem but it was a handy base.

Overall we highly recommend this apt and it is clear Rachel is passionate about ensuring her guests feel welcome and enjoy their stay! No complaints at all!
