We were warmly welcomed by Aminul to his nice townhouse. He invited us to rest and unload our baggage in an unoccupied guestroom even though we arrived a few hours before check-in. During our stay, other guests were friendly and helpful, and there was no pressure to socialize unless desired. The bathrooms and kitchen are very clean. Having access to two bathrooms on the same floor is so convenient. We did have to search for cooking utensils we needed on other floors, and then return these items after using...
But then again, climbing stairs is good for exercise!
If you find exploring or staying in a borough about an hour +/- from Manhatten by subway, doable, then you will enjoy Aminul's place.
