Ruth's apartment is an ideal place to stay if you need a peaceful and private place to land during your stay in NYC. I stayed for 1o days while taking an intensive course at Columbia and was most grateful for the calm home away from home to return to each evening. Ruth is sweet and helpful. The room is spacious and clean. The location is wonderful. Great neighborhood and Morningside Park is beautiful to walk through in the mornings. Can't recommend highly enough!
