Ruth is a very warm and wonderful person and I felt absolutely blessed to stay in her apartment. The building is secure and the apartment is on an upper floor. The bedroom is large and one should know the bed is extra firm. I had never stayed in this part of Brooklyn and I really liked it. In one direction was a vibrant Caribbean/Latino shopping area and in the other direction quiet fancy homes. The location is also very close to the gorgeous Prospect park and 3 different subway stops (each about a 10-15 minute walk away). As a single woman it was great to have such a warm wonderful hostess:) Highly recommend Ruth's place.
