Traveling on business and needed to be close to LGA airport, yet have access to midtown. Biren was out of town - but his brother MJ and mother Gitta were wonderful and very, very nice. MJ was very helpful in orienting me to the neighborhood and even gave me the number for a cab/car service to take me to to the airport. Having a beautiful bottle of water in the room was a nice touch and made me feel very "at home." Also lots of maps and information about local dining and activities, which was really, really thoughtful and smart. This room is in a home that is ultra clean, beautifully decorated and designed, quiet, respectful and close to everything. Subway was 10 min walk away - and the neighborhood was very multi-cultural with tons of really fantastic dining options! The bed is sooooo comfy and the room is small, but very cozy with plenty of room for my belonging in the closet and in the drawer. Even though I was here for a short time, I will definitely book again when in NYC. Highly, highly recommend - wonderful hosts and very calming energy here.
