We stayed at Ray’s place when my parents came to NYC for my graduation, and because my place was too small. The apartment is centrally located to many restaurants, bodegas, and local transportation. The neighborhood is safe and very picturesque. Ray’s place was spacious and comfortable, with every amenity you could need.
The back patio/garden area was especially nice, even though it rained most of the time and we didn’t get to have dinner out there as planned. The living room has a pull out sofa and two rollaway beds, the later I found most comfortable. That room was a little dark, but there are many lamps to brighten it.
Would definitely do a return stay here in the future.
