My stay with Raymond & Heather was amazing. They are the friendliest, warmest, and most fun people to be with. The experience was as if I lived in NY and had friends there, which is really the best way to get to know a city and have a great time. I would recommend it to everyone! In the four days I stayed with them I befriended them, and I would definitely stay with them again when I visit NY (and I sure hope to soon!).
Some practical issues I want to mention too, because I know they matter when picking an airbnb place to stay: as a solo female traveler I felt safe in the neighborhood. Great location: subway station only 5 min walk with trains running frequently and straight into Manhattan (F train) and also uptown Brooklyn (G train; takes you into Williamburg, which I recommend visiting!). The sofa bed is comfortable, and you really have the living room to yourself and with the curtain it is private enough. I had no troubles at all, but maybe bring a sleeping mask and earplugs if you have difficulty sleeping: you are in a big city which logically results in some noise. Everything you need is in the apartment; good wifi, nice shower, kitchen, and of course great company (by the way, they're not always at home due to work, so you do have the place to yourself every now and then). Contacting Raymond and Heather before I came and at the time of my arrival all went smoothly.
I am very happy I picked their place to stay!
