I spent 8 nights at Biren's house, where he lives with his own family and his mother, a very nice person too. The house in located in a very quiet neighborhood of NYC: metro station is 10 minutes far by walk and E line is a very good solution to arrive in Manhattan. Also JFK airport is easy to reach by public transportation (it takes me 45-50 minutes to arrive: so I save a lot of money). The room is well furnished, very clean, bright and peaceful: wi-fi signal is good. Biren told me a lot of things about places to see (also non turistic one) and cheap but tasty restaurant where to eat around his house. Restroom is shared with Biren's family: it's spacious and clean. Both Biren and his mother are very communicative and helpful person, very respectful of hosts' privacy. I had a great holiday in NYC thanks to them. Plese not that luggage storage is not for free after 12 pm. Highly recommended place!
