Ray was an amazing host, really friendly and eager to make sure we were well accommodated and comfortable. He responded to inquiries immediately and checked on us regularly to see if all was fine. Everything in the apartment was as listed. Ray also made sure that the kitchen was well stocked. In addition, the WTC subway station, cafes, grocery stores, malls were a short walk away. The neighbourhood was safe. The Hudson River flows near the apartment and was a nice place to go to for walks. Would definitely go back when we visit New York next and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit.
