If you were having any doubts about Ron and Cookies Place, let me put your mind at ease! Book the room!
Area: The house is on a fairly quiet side street with easy access to the subway, bus, parking, and many restaurant options. I felt safe at all times and the area is well lit.
Home: This is an apartment style residence with a room 1, 2, and 3. This home has a fully stocked shared kitchen and bathroom. I was at first skeptical of sharing a residence, however, all roommates were quiet and respectful. I never had an issue using the kitchen or restroom. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cooking utensils you could need and you were provided luxury toiletries to better your stay. Our room was cozy and very well heated. The room had a dresser, closet, and shelf. The bed was comfortable and included four feathery pillows that were easy to sleep on. The TV was a smart TV with all the good apps. Really enjoyed it and it was squeaky clean.
Hosts: Ron and Cookie were quiet and responsive to questions or concerns. They really cared about our stay and made sure we were having a great time.
Other pros: Short train ride away from most of the sightseeing, good food in the area, cheap stay, friendly neighbors, and a real New Yorker style experience.
Thanks for the great stay! We would love to return soon!
