Ray’s place is the definition of charming and all the personal touches (from the wonderful garden to the beautiful furniture and art Ray has collected) are outstanding. If you generally prefer hotels or Airbnbs that feel a bit more hotel-y, this might not be the best spot for you...but if you like the idea of a hidden gem cottage, this is for you.
I stayed here for 30 days and it was just me (I’m early 30s female). I’m in the midst of a bigger move so I had a lot of stuff for just a month but I felt like I had more than enough space within the apartment to settle in.
All the houses in the neighborhood are fairly close together but I still felt like I had absolute privacy at this location, which was nice. It’s an extremely safe area and I loved going on walks around it.
The spot is about 2 blocks from a waterfront public park, which was also a huge plus for me. There are a lot of restaurants within about 15 or so minute walk on broadway or on Thames.
Ray is extremely responsive and kind. He’ll make sure to check in from time to time to make sure all is well, but he also gave me space to do my own thing.
All in all- I was really pleased with my experience and would recommend it to others!
