Biren was a great host. I was in and out of the house for most of my visit, but when we did get a chance to talk, we had a nice chat. Biren is very knowledgeable about the different boroughs, so if it's your first time visiting New York City, he's your go-to guy. The train station is a ten-minute walk straight down from the house, and you'll be in Manhattan before you know it. Overall, it's a place where affordability meets warmth. Highly recommended.
