Nanda and her husband were super warm and friendly. Immediately upon arrival, I felt as if I was meeting family friends who I haven't seen in awhile. Nanda was always in touch making sure my stay was pleasant and that I had everything I needed. The private studio was modern, very clean, and it had everything I needed...including an umbrella!. Very thoughtful based on the week's weather. The studio was accurately described and included a bathroom with a large shower, portable fan, closet, refrigerator & freezer, microwave, full-sized sink, dishes, utensils, etc. Everything I would have in my own home was there. She even provided me a continental breakfast the first night. The studio apartment located in the quiet Richmond Hill area had a private entrance with stairs leading to the basement. Nanda left restaurant recommendations in her information binder, which I had time to try Punjabi and they had fantastic food! The apartment is very close to JFK. SkyTrain for $5, A-train to Rockaway, then walking distance. The only two areas of opportunity for improvement would be the WiFi signal strength & speed, and needing a small AC unit. I had a great time staying here and would highly recommend anytime!
