Being new to New York my colleague and I were intimidated with prospect of coming from small Pacific Island countries of Samoa and Fiji straight into the "City that never sleeps".
Ahmed was amazing. He knew where all the best places to visit were and often found our self relying on his recommendations. This option of staying here was way better than staying in hotel. The place had character and took us back to all the famous New York sitcoms that we watched in tv.
We had attended a meeting at the UN for 2 weeks and coming home to the house was so refreshing and made the cold bearable. It was cold outside but the warmth inside the place made us appreciate Ahmed and his home better.
If I ever go back to New York I will always go back here.
