I stayed with Shivaul for two weeks in November 2016 and had an amazing time! The Studio is exactly as described, it was clean, cosy, warm and had the added benefit of an en-suite bathroom. There were lots of nice touches as well, a snacks tray, sweet bowl, bottled water and various foodstuffs in the cupboard. It also had a large television, with many channels.

The Sudio is a five minute walk from the J train and a 10 minute walk to the A express train, which gets you into Manhattan in around 35 minutes. There was a supermarket virtually next door and lots of shops and eating places by the subway station. There were no problems at all getting into Manhattan.

I have stayed many times with Airbnb and Shivaul has to be the nicest host I have met, he even went out of his way to give me a lift to JFK airport for my flight home, which was very much appreciated. Shivaul was very friendly and gave me lots of good advice during my fortnight and was always there, if there was any problem, which there wasn't during my stay.

The best possible praise I can give Shivaul, and to any other person staying here, is that I always looked forward to getting back every night, for a restful relaxed evening and it was definitely a home from home.

Many thanks to Shivaul for allowing me to share his home and for all the help and friendship he showed to me during my stay, he is a very fine ambassador for Airbnb.
