I stayed with Brenda and Bill for two weeks and it was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed every single minute. They are both so kind and you will feel at home within a second. Furthermore with the train (LIRR) it just takes you about 30 minutes to get to the Penn Station. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Brenda and Bill are truly lovely, caring hosts that go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home.
I travelled alone for the trip of a lifetime to New York, although nervous my anxieties were soon settled as l felt very safe and able to call on Brenda even when l got lost.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to all.
Thank you to a lovely couple for your hospitality and support.

Both Bill and Brenda were very warm and welcoming and made us immediately feel at ease. They answered any questions we had happily and gave us some great advice on getting around the city. We were more than well fed and given a clean and spacious room. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in their home and couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you for the amazing hospitality, we will miss you :)

Even if I forgot my password I absolutely had to find a way to connect and leave a review because Brenda and Bill deserve it so much.

They are so welcoming, kind, caring and genuine people. They made our stay so much smoother and we were really lucky to found a family this nice, it made us love New York even more.

Brenda will literally do everything to be helpful, I remember she drove me to Western Union because I wasn't able to find one. We can really tell that they love what they do.
It was also really fun to be able to know the others people that were staying at the house.

I wish we could have spent more time with them but the short time we were able to connect was everything. I really wish the best for them and hopefully our paths will cross again.

Eden and Kamelia.

Best regards !

Deep gratitude. This is the best feeling I can describe during the 132 days I've been staying at the Drayton’s home. The house has an excellent physical structure, with a very comfortable bedroom, clean bathrooms, excellent laundry and a separate kitchen for guests to prepare their meals. I had good moments in the barbecues with the cinema session promoted in the garden’s house, stroll to the bowling alley, going to the ice cream shop, to the supermarket, restaurant. I also emphasize the celebrations of Birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The house has a large table where I can share countless experiences with people from different countries, such as Italy, Spain, Japan, Vietnam, China, Brazil, France, Germany and the United States of America. They were rich experiences in culture and learning of the English language. This was an unforgettable experience! Bill and Brenda were angels who were always willing to help and do everything they could to make us feel better. The house is in a safe area, close to markets, delis, beauty salons, pharmacy and mall. In addition, access to both the train and the bus is easy and enjoyable. I don’t think there would be a better place to stay in New York City. All the stars in the world deserve it. Thank you so much for this time we spent together. I really miss you.
Best regards!

I would give more than 5 stars if it were possible because I felt good and comfortable during the whole stay. Brenda cooked for me sometimes for dinner even if this was not included and with William I could enjoy the evenings talking together or watching a movie.
I thank the whole family Drayton for the hospitality and would definitely visit them again.

Wonderful is the word to describe my experience on Mr. William's and Miss Brenda's house. They are very helpful, caring, friendly, respectul, warm hearted and a beatiful family that makes you feel like home! Even if you don't speak english well like me! Miss Brenda gave me tips to enjoy my time in Manhattan and how to use the public transportation. The room is perfect!
Thank you for everything!

I had the most amazing experience staying with Brenda and Bill. They made sure I was comfortable and even offered me dinner during my entire stay even though it wasn't included in my package. Honestly I couldn't have chosen a better family to stay with. My experience for 7 nights was fun and I almost felt like not leaving. I felt at home with them, and we had interesting conversations.
They are genuinely kindhearted, loving and helpful and you would not experience any issues staying with them.
The house is well equipped, neat, comfortable and even the area where it is located is safe and secure. it is very easy to find your way to Manhattan and everywhere else from the house. Also during my stay I became friends with the other guest in the house and everyone was sweet and cheerful. It's a multicultural house with guest from different countries and it was a wonderful experience to meet and interact with people from different cultures.
I really enjoyed staying with them and if I ever return to New York I will most certainly stay with the wonderful Drayton's family.
Thank you so much Brenda and Bill for your love and everything, I will not forget my time with you and from the dept of my heart I am so grateful to you for welcoming me into your home and ensuring I had the best time.

***** THE BEST *****
(I´d like to give more than 5 hearts but it´s impossible)
I quite agree with Nathalie´s review. I couldn´t have a better family than the Drayton´s. It was an incredibly beautiful time in Rosedale. Everyday I woke up and I was so happy to spend time with so warm-hearted people. They were always caring, considerate, interested, funny and I´m so grateful for many conversations with the Drayton´s. I felt that I found a second family in another country. During my time I was lucky enough to travel all days to Manhattan with some of my roommates who went to school. Bill and Brenda were always so generous to please everybody. A very good experience was that the house was multicultural than during my time I´ve met people from different countries like Columbia, Mexico, Japan, Korea, China, Brazil, Russia. The house was completely good equipped so that always when we had the moon to watch movies we had a big screen like cinema in the living room. Playing billiard at home with the roommates was also something very funny. I´ll never forget the funny and memorable evenings at dinner time around all roommates and the Drayton´s. Not to forget are Brenda´s dishes than she knows how to cook very healthy and delicious - an admirable mother who had all time a friendly ear. Bill was an activ workman who was for the full house always available if we needed something - worthy to receive an award for his flexibility. Both are unique :-)
At Christmas they gave us hearty presents and made excellent special dishes and all that were like Christmas at home. I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to met this unique family. It was an indescribable and beautiful experience and I´ll never forget it. From the depth of my heart my gratefulness for your entity which will engraving my life forever. Unfortunately it is impossible but should it be possible I´d visit you all weeks :-D
I hope to see you soon...

My friend picked Brenda’s homestay for her daughter and I during the girl’s Thanksgiving break from her boarding school. We fell in love with the place as soon as we walked into the house. Super clean rooms, super friendly host family, very well-equipped facilities. We even have our own kitchen upstairs. I especially enjoyed the home theater feature.
Brenda is a very caring person. She and her family make us feel just like home. We were lucky enough to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with her famil, and thus we could experience a very nice American tradition.
Overall, we’ve had an amazing stay at Brenda’s. I will definitely stay with her next time I’m in NY.
