I spent a week at Biren's place. During my stay, Biren happened to be out of town, and I was greeted by his brother MJ & their mom, Gita.

MJ and Gita were the perfect hosts, always making sure I felt at home. They were helpful to suggest fun/interesting things I should do in the city and explained how to get around, which I greatly appreciated.

Jackson Heights is a safe neighborhood and well known for it's food with "Little India" just a few blocks away. The house is lovely, well maintained and felt cozy; it was a nice departure from the typical hotel experience. I rested well in the room which is exactly as pictured, spacious and comfortable. The house is only a short walk from the subway station.

I am so glad I chose to stay at Biren's house and would recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
