Ronnie was a great host, very helpful and friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!
Her whole apartment is filled with great stuff to read and art to look at! The room is on the street but the street is pretty quiet, for New York City of course!, and I had no problem getting a good night's sleep.
The room is nicer than the photo, the mattress is super comfy and very firm, with great sheets and the room is filled with art and books. (In the photo it looks a bit spartan).
You are close to everything: one block from the 1 subway line, 5 blocks from Absolute Bagels (get the tofuti lox spread on a toasted whole wheat sesame), and about 14 blocks from Columbia University. Lots of great restaurants, bars, grocery stores and of course, super safe.
When I stayed the curtains let in some light so bring a sleep mask if like me you are light sensitive.
Ronnie is an artist and knows a lot about the arts and acting scene, so that was a plus.
