His house was nice - the room is upstairs and is right up the steps when you enter the house. You can go in and out without even encountering Mahmood or you can talk with them. He was very friendly! I arrived late in the day and he was there to make sure that I made it safely and to answer any questions I had. The house is in a nice neighborhood. There is parking on the street if you have a vehicle, and if you don't there are bus stops nearby or it's convenient to use an Uber or Lyft. The house is close to the Staten Island Ferry and it is easy to get to Manhattan.
