We were just in town for one night and needed a place to lay our heads. Khalid's place fit the bill perfectly. It's a simple, unfussy space that is clean and comfortable. Khalid was friendly and welcoming and kindly offered recommendations for places nearby to eat. We really appreciated that there was an air conditioner in our room! The neighborhood is bustling but Khalid's street is quiet and residential. We were able to park our car on the street without concern and take the train into the city. We did not perceive any safety concerns in walking around the neighborhood, even when walking from the train station at midnight and stopping for a slice along the way. The train station is only a couple of blocks away and it's only a couple of stops to get into Manhattan, super convenient! (Because of station repairs, we had to ride the train in the opposite direction for a couple stops and then ride back through when going into the city, but it was not a big deal at all). Honestly, you can't beat the price to have a clean, comfortable space to sleep that is close to the city and has a friendly, conscientious host. Thanks Khalid!
