RKMappingResult has objects, but they NSLog as null - ios

Question

What I'm doing
Using RestKit, I'm making a GET request to get a JSON object that contains an array of User objects that populate a UITableView. I pass that array into a private NSArray called users which becomes _users (I'm still fuzzy on this). This works, and the table populates fine. I can access the individual objects in the _users array from my other methods, such as [UITableViewCell cellForRowAtIndex].
However, at the same time I pull the data down, and before I call [self.tableView reloadData] from inside the success block of [RKObjectManager getObjectsAtPath...], I want to process the individual objects a little bit.
My problem
Using [RKObjectManager getObjectsAtPath parameters success failure], success returns the RKMappingResult as expected, and I pass its array to a _users, which populates my UITableView. This works, but in the same success block, I try NSLog'ing _users[i] and it returns *nil description*. I know the values are being set at some point, because I populate my UITableViewCells by calling _users[i] in another method.
Hopefully more helpful info
When I NSLog(#"%#", _users) from inside the success block, and know for a fact there are 3 objects in the array, I see:
(
(null),
(null),
(null)
).
I can provide more info, I'm just not sure what to put. I can also show my code, but it's basically out of the book from the RestKit docs.
User object
#interface User : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *id;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *email;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *username;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *fullName;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *bio;
#property (nonatomic) NSDate *dob;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *avatar;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *avatarMeta;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *location;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSURL *url;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *enabled;

RKObjectManager example
*note - some pieces have been removed for security reasons
- (void)loadUsers {
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:#{#"token": self.token}];
NSString *path = #"/api/v1/g/feed";
if ( self.cursor ) {
path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#", path, self.cursor];
}
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] getObjectsAtPath:path
parameters:params
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
_users = mappingResult.array;
NSLog(#"Last User: %#",_users[0]); // *nil description*
NSLog(#"Array: %#", _users); // ((null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null))
[self.tableView reloadData]; // table gets populated correctly
}
failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"No feed available: %#", error);
}];
}

Most likely you're overriding the description method, probably by adding your own property with that name, in the user class and setting that to an empty string. This breaks everything. You should rename that property to overview or something like that and update your usage.
