I met Biren's brother and mother when I got there, they couldn't be more welcoming! They helped me with my luggage and with getting a taxi for the airport in the morning. His brother got me set up, gave me a bottle of cold water for my room, showed me where everything was and chatted for a few minutes. I spoke to his mother when leaving the next day and she was so nice and friendly as well. The neighborhood is cute and clean, I walked home from the subway alone around midnight and felt perfectly safe. The picture is exactly what the room looks like now (with the addition of an air conditioner). The room, house and bathroom were impeccably clean.
