Raymond's place was wonderful! Very easy walk from the subway, the place was immaculate, well-equipped, and, compared to anyplace in NYC, HUGE! There was more than enough room for 4 of us, a full kitchen, and a patio out back, which, unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to use. It was hot, we had been out all day, and it was nice to just sit in the air conditioning.
All the other places we looked at for comparable prices were miniscule, and most were 3rd floor or higher walk-ups. Raymond's was a few steps down, at ground level. They were wrapping a shoot of The Deuce right out front when we got there, but no sightings of James Franco! The neighborhood was really pretty, and very quiet. We walked a couple of blocks to Sylvia's for a great breakfast.
I would go back here again, and recommend it to anyone!
