Raymond and Heather are perfect hosts who go out of their ways to make sure everything is good. They're friendly and fun, but always respect their guest's privacy and independence. It's a lovely apartment; spotlessly clean and always nice and warm. A lovely kitchen too. Gowanus is a good neighbourhood and super convenient for the rest of NYC - great subway connections, and the 9th street subway is only six or seven minutes from the apartment. I had a lovely time and hope to come back.
