General information
We stayed at Biren's place for four nights in December. It was our first experience with AirBnB and we would definitly recommend staying at Gita's and Biren's place to friends and familiy. We liked NY very much and are planning to come back to visit in a few months again - probably in summer time. Then we will definitily get in touch with Biren again for a place to stay.
Even before arriving at Queens/ NY Biren always responded to our e-mails very quickly and answered all our questions (and we had a lot :), because we were new on AirBnB).

The hosts
Besides Biren we also had the honor of meeting his mother Gita. Both of them were so nice to us and treated us really excellent. We felt welcome even before entering the place. Biren already welcomed us outside where he was waiting for us to arrive.
Throughout our stay Gita and Biren have also been there for us, if we had any questions or needed andything.
Furthermore they provided to us a metro map where they already marked places to see in NY starting from the typicall tourist spots (e.g. Times Square) up to some insights (e.g. best view of Manhattan from Brooklyn or place to go shopping).

The appartment
The place itself looks execatly like shown on the pictures. It is very new and stylish. Furthermore Gita and Biren also keep it very clean so we really felt comfortable.
The appartment is located near the metro Jackson Heights (walking distance 5 - 10 min). Several metro trains leave from there so it is very easy to go to Manhattan or the airport(s) at any time.

The neighborhood
The neighborhood itself (Jackson Heights in Queens) is an upcoming and growing neighborhood. It is safe, also at night we never felt unsecure walking home from the metro.
Furthermore near to Biren's place there are several restaurants located where you can get breakfast or lunch/ dinner for reasonable prices compared to downtown Manhattan. We enjoyed also exploring Queens, mainly for breakfast and dinner, because you will find cuisine from all over the world there (e.g. Italian, Thai, Indian...).
