Gaudhi and his family were perfect hosts :) They were warm and friendly and full of excellent recommendations of what to check out in the city with my limited available time, and the best ways to get there through public transit. A very accessible location. As a single female walking home by myself even close to midnight the area felt safe and easy to navigate.

The sleeping accommodations themselves were so comfortable as well -- they've done some renovations since the last photo of this futon and the sleeping area is dark and private if you need it to crash early or sleep in. Recommend to bring ear plugs if street level noise/conversation keeps you up .

My favourite part was the amazing Hungarian bakery just up the street through Morningside Park, across from the cathedral...better than anything south of Central Park! (but get there early ;) ).
