Here's the thing, you won't find a better location to stay at than Raynald's place. It's in the most incredible spot. The 6 train stop is outside the door, the R & W one block away, and the area itself is so ridiculously central I couldn't believe it. I have been to NYC many times, over 20 trips from New Zealand, so believe me, if you are a first time visitor to the city, STAY HERE. It's beyond safe, a friendly part of town and close to everywhere. The apartment is fab, stylish with quirky extras - and for some unexplainable reason QUIET. For the location, I still can't believe how quiet it was there. I'll stop going on about it - but if you are searching for somewhere, stop now and book this place. LOVED IT.
