As a Brooklyn dweller, I was familiar with the location of Ruby and Pat's place and it was exactly where I wanted my visiting family to stay! It's within 10 minutes walking distance to myriads of shopping and restaurant options, which are shared in a carefully curated booklet that is provided at the residence for out-of-town visitors. We were able to rent the brownstone in its entirety, and given my family could all be under one roof, as opposed to multiple hotel rooms, it was a steal, price-wise! Pat met us upon arrival and showed us all the rooms, available laundry facilities, pantry, coffee, and tea amenities, including the welcome book that listed all the house rules, guidance for local activities, and again, suggestions for ordering in and dining out. The place is STUNNING! Each room is beautifully decorated, and the bathrooms all had such cool details and decorations! The door handles alone were conversation pieces and it truly felt like a Victorian dream! There are loads of books to read, an electric fireplace and some games! My family felt safe in the neighborhood, and it's a beautiful area for a nice spring or fall walkabout! I will definitely stay here again, should the occasion arise, and I cannot thank Ruby and Pat enough for their warmth, while my family came to visit for my wedding!
