We did feel very welcome by Biren's family. Brother MJ was there to greet us, and he and his mother provided us with suggestions that were spot on for our excursion to New York. Very prompt responses to our email/text communication prior and throughout the stay. We loved the diverse and safe neighborhood. Short walk to all transportation and a variety of restaurants. Our room was as described; clean, quiet, AC, roomy, fresh decor and comfortable bed. Beyond our expectations, would stay again without question.
