My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Biren's place. It was exactly as advertised - very close to the metro, very clean, and a convenient location for us to attend the US Open as well as tour Manhattan. Biren was very welcoming, offering us suggestions of places to see in NYC and giving us laminated lists of things to do and places to see. He even gave us a map of NYC annotated with the places and subway lines to get there! The house also had keyless entry which meant we didn't have to carry around a key or card with us and could come and leave at anytime. We had a great time in NYC and staying at Biren's place was the perfect decision for us!
