We did not have an opportunity to meet Qing but the room and the place was great. There were/are two room mates who pretty much kept to themselves which was actually fine with us since we left late mornings and did not return till late evenings. The area around Wall street was safe with either police or private security patrolling the area (after all this is Wall St.). The 2 and 3 trains were a block away (very convenient) and stores/eateries within a 2 block radius. I would definitely stay here again and recommend Qing's Place. Happy Holiday Qing and thanks for our Christmas New York experience. We bought an umbrella and left it as a replacement since the small umbrella was messed up by the wind and rain.
