Ruth has a lovely apartment in a very nice & safe neighbourhood, in close proximity to peaceful Morningside Park. Transit connections are excellent and the area in general is very walkable. Ruth is an excellent thoughtful host and experienced travel adviser. But most of all we enjoyed our engaging conversations about a wide range of topics. Our room was very spacious and the bed comfortable. Ruth's two cats blended in very well and were indeed very loveable. In short, we can't wait to return in a few years for another Wagner opera. This was by far the best Airbnb we have had in NYC. Thanks Ruth.
