We loved staying a Rachael's place. The apartment is a small studio but had a decent kitchen, small but comfortable living space and an alcove bedroom. It was clean and perfect for my husband and myself. The location is within walking distance of most major attractions and a bike path goes right by the door. It is a downtown location, so there is considerable street noise. Some nights can be worse than others but this can be expected for the location. The apartment was very clean and the building is very secure. There are great restaurants right in the bottom of the building. We especially like Shiro's Sushi and the Macrina Bakery. Rachael was a great host and very quick to answer any questions we had.
