Ruth was an absolutely amazing host! As soon as I checked in, she made sure that I knew how to walk to the train station and where to get off. She was so kind to have prepared breakfast for us very early every morning - the fried banana dish was delicious. Most importantly, she made sure that everyone felt at home regardless of how many nights they were in New York. I stayed in the private room upstairs and there was plenty of natural sunlight and a nice view of the backyard. I would definitely recommend staying with her!
