I had a great experience staying at Raymond's place. It's nicely located in Brooklyn with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The train station is less than 10 minutes away and it's easy to get into Manhattan.
The apartment was clean, the room spacious. There's some traffic noise from the street, but the windows isolate well and Raymond provided earplugs - me as a light sleeper didn't have any issues.
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Raymond in person, but our online communications were friendly and prompt. Raymond even reached out with recommendations for the neighbourhood.
Would happily stay again.
