Our stay with Bindia and her family was wonderful. Everything was as described - a ninth floor elevated building with a doorman, very close to major bus and subway lines and two parks - Central park and Riverside park. The bedroom was larger than the photo shows, very comfortable, wonderful light (as described); it was very nice to have our own bathroom, large new shower. Most importantly, Bindia was very friendly and and accessible; she went our of her way to provide us information about transportation, restaurants, and other local amenities. Coffee and tea was always available, as was use of the fridge for the small items we bought for our breakfasts. With a snow storm closing many places one of the days, she even invited us for lunch! The morning noise as the family had their own breakfast was no problem at all. We look forward to staying with them again. Thank you Bindia!
