Raymond’s place is in a very convenient location to the subway - only a 5 minute walk. The apartment is located on the third floor and you must walk up a narrow staircase. This wasn’t an issue for us but if you have trouble walking this is not going to work for you. While the apartment was clean it did smell of stale cigarettes. The furniture in the living room is a bit worn and there really wasn’t enough room for the four of us to all sit at once. We did not cook during our stay but did have coffee and tea (we had to bring our own) but since there were only three mugs we could not have all have a drink at the same time. If the apartment can accommodate 5 people then there should be enough dishes for the same. The bathroom did not have any hand soap nor hand towel. The towel bar was missing.
If some of these details were addressed I would give this a higher rating. Some basics like a box of tissues and a hairdryer would have been nice.
Raymond is very responsive. He got back to me quickly on the few occasions I had a question.
