    First, I observed the highest rating scale you have is "Great". I am not comfortable with that because my stay with Amolyn and her family was far beyond "Great", rather it is "Super Great and Fantastic" all the way. I will repeat my stay over and over again with Amolyn and her family. Amolyn's husband is one of the greatest and finest man you would like to meet and drink from his pool of experience, support and care. Next time, I cannot afford to miss such warm reception, understanding, respect for my religion (Islam) and race (Nigerian). Despite the fact that they were Christians, they took me round and showed me Masjid (Mosque) where to worship and also encourage me to worship in their home. Amolyn and her husband took me out to nice places at New Jersey, including parties and beach to have lots of fun where i took some great pictures. They shared their family experience with me and I shared mine as well. We see ourselves as one big family within a short period.

    We smile, Crack jokes, eat together as family on same table, watch news together etc. If I am not at the dining table on time, they will come knock at my room door and that of other guests and call us out to come eat together as one family. I was very happy throughout my stay, hence the reason for reducing my experience in writing this review. I cannot stress the fact that they assisted and took me home the very first day and also took me to the train station when going back to New York JFK airport. All these gestures and kindness were outside of my Homestay contract. Surely, I believe I don't deserve them. I cannot say it all, my stories and experience with the family was so great. My room was extremely fantastic. I was in the room feeling like a king. Yes, I also met other guests from Saudi Arabia and Brazil. All of us were very happy and keep tab of each other and have lots of fun.

    I will advise Homestay to encourage Amolyn to advertise her home properly. The information contained on your website are far less that the facilities on ground. For example you did not post the pictures of her fantastic rooms and so on. Also worth mentioning is the home Internet service (WiFi) that runs on a very high speed and quality service network. Inability to advertise her home properly will make lots of people (potential travelers and guests) miss such a great opportunity and experience.

    I will repeat my stay at Amolyn's home, again, again and again!

    Finally, i advise that Homestay set up a picture upload portal in their feedback/review platform so that guests can upload pictures and validate their claims. I would have gladly shared some of the pictures i took to further buttress my wonderful experience at Amolyn's home.

    Regards.
