My girlfriend and I stayed at Mahmood's place for our first trip together to NYC and we couldn't be happier with this choice! The house was beautiful and felt like home. We were provided with sheets, towels, and the bathroom was stocked with all the essentials from toothpaste to shampoo/body wash/lotion to Q-tips. As the August weather was hot Mr Dulu (Mahmood) already had a fan going in the window and told us if we were not comfortable he would turn on the AC! He and his wife also changed their plans to be able to welcome us when we arrived later in the evening. He was very friendly and gave us tips on navigating local transportation. I would recommend anyone to definitely consider staying at his place.
