Raymond's studio is very accessible to public transportation; 15 minutes and $12 Uber from Newark Liberty and 25 minutes and $5.50 from NYC Penn or Hoboken and then a two block walk from station to the studio. We two ladies aged 65+ felt totally safe walking to/from the train station at any time day or night.
The studio is in the basement accessed through a locked side gate and then down a short flight of well lit stairs to the locked studio door. The studio has no windows so it is easy to lose track of time and it is cooled/heated by a small wall unit that seemed more than adequate to the task.
The photos accurately represent the appearance and condition of the studio and the towels, linens and pillows were in good condition. The studio has a full size fridge and freezer, 4 burner electric range and oven, microwave, toaster and a 4 cup coffee maker. There is a mixed assortment of plates, bowls, cups and flatware for two people to eat with along with a few Pyrex casserole dishes and 1 - 2 pans. There are plenty of champagne flutes and wine glasses though.
The tub is jetted for a relaxing bath and the shower is a tight cruise ship size (3'x3') and the shower head is 7 feet high so tall people won't have to scrunch to shampoo.
All in all an economical option for those vacationing or working in Manhattan. I will definitely stay here again.
