Going to Qudsia's is not like going to a hotel or a bed and breakfast but it is like walking into a home. It is everything a home is - filled with warmth, joy, hospitality and even the occasional roaches' visits. (But nothing you can't handle.)
We stayed with Qudsia and her two sons for 12 nights and it has been the most pleasant experience! They were helpful, friendly and warmth. They gave us directions, tips on braving the city, the latest happenings (like the Christmas Light up at Rockefeller Centre) and Zeek, her eldest son, also drove us to the nearest train station on our second day! Plus - Qudsia is a great cook! We've been blessed to try out some of her cooking!
We also love the fact that their cat, Milo, was super super friendly. Being cat lovers, we had so many fun and 'awww' moments with Milo!
The bed was also amazingly comfortable. It was so comfortable that we spent many days waking up late! We also looked forward to going back home, cook a simple dinner and just crash on the bed!
While the home is not exactly walking distance to the train stations, it was definitely accessible. There are plenty of buses to get you to the different stations. Our favorite way is to take the B82 to Kings Highway Station and stop by the shops there!
We may have chosen her after our first Airbnb booking was cancelled by the homeowner but we glad it happened or we wouldn't have had the chance to experience first hand Qudsia's and her family's warmth, generosity and hospitality.
