Ruth's place is a gem and so is Ruth! The location is very convenient (close to an express stop on the 1/2/3, a Trader Joe's, and of course several bodegas/coffee shops). It's an easy walk to Central Park. It's also surprisingly quiet at night in this area, so you're actually able to get good rest. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the apartment, so everyone has plenty of space. Ruth is such a gracious host - friendly, warm, and interesting!
