The Ridge is for the traveler that wants to be close to the best neighborhoods in NY. The WiFi is slow (if WiFi is important for you, this is not the place for you). I sent a message to the host but they couldn’t fix the WiFi. I went in January during the coldest season. The heating systems are great! They kept us warm. The Ridge’s location is next to subway stations so public transportation made it easy to stay on budget. The Ridge is comfortable and their C common room is great. They always have coffee available. The rooftop is beautiful with breathtaking views of the city.
