Ray is very nice and accommodating. Communication and check in-out were effortless. However I find it weird how nobody mentions that the shared bathroom is attached to one of the rooms via direct door. If someone is in the bathroom it feels like you are there with them. For example, our neighbors would wake us up every night when they go to the bathroom at 2-3 a.m. Also, the bathroom was only lightly cleaned and there was dust and evidence of wear and tear in both the bathroom and bedroom. At least the bed and pillows were nice and comfortable. The room has central heating so it is very warm. The location is superb - 2 min from subway. Ray is a very nice host, just needs to freshen up the place a little. Overall our stay was good.
