Staying at Zains apartment for a week was really nice and very enriching. He is an amazing host, very kind and generous, who gave us lots of great recommendations.
The apartment itself is very clean and located in a vibrant, diverse and friendly neighborhood. Although the main subway line is only a few minutes away, the room is very quiet with a comfortable bed, and you can even hear birds singing in the morning.
We can highly recommend staying at Zains, and would definitely like to return, if we visit New York again.
