I stayed with Gen & Leela for 5 months and felt very homey, safe and welcomed at their place. Gen is a Great Host and does everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I had two other roommates which were also long term tenants and we had a great time together. The location is good for the price you pay for NYC. You are in Times Square in 30 min and i always felt very safe as the flat is directly next to broadway (but very quiet because it is in the back of the building) and the neighborhood is friendly and with lots of children. Good Supermarket and all you need is close, the kitchen is very well equipped and the room is spacious. There is no living room which was not a problem for me as I was out for work and in the city most of the time. Thank you Gen for the great home!!
