Raymond is a gracious and kind host that responds very quickly and provides all the necessary information upfront. It was as if he anticipated my questions before I even asked. The apartment was easy to find and was even able to park right outside. The bed is comfortable and the a/c works very well (which is impressive for the summer NYC heat). Truly, the best part is the absolutely gorgeous oasis of a backyard, full of plants, comfortable chairs and couches, and a very powerful grill that cooked up everything to perfection. I would stay here any and every time I return to NYC. Thank you!
