Ray and Dee are wonderful hosts. The apartment is lovely, well appointed and tastefully decorated, quiet and with superb views. The area is great for amenities with parks, subway stops and grocery stores all within walking distance. We really enjoyed having the space and the flexibility of being able to give our jet lagged 3 year old breakfast when she woke up. Ray and Dee were flexible with checkout and even organised a livery car to the airport which was more comfortable and cheaper than a taxi. I would highly recommend their place for staying in downtown NYC, far better experience than a hotel room.
