Ruth is the best host you can have. She is really friendly and welcoming, as soon as she gives you the keys you feel like at home. The flat and the room were perfectly clean. The room is big and cosy. The flat is really well located and in a very safe area. Regarding the cats (they are cute),there is absolutely no problem, my friend is allergic and had no issue with them.
So if I go back to New york I would definitively ask Ruth if her room is available
