My stay at Ronnie's was exactly what I was hoping for. A simple, affordable place to stay while having a few days of fun in the city. Ronnie and her adult son were friendly, welcoming and respectful. The room was better than I expected in that it was slightly separated from the rest of the apartment and had a great private feel. Comfortable bed. Ceiling fan and window AC unit - excellent!
The location was very good. A block from the #1 subway which runs north and south (uptown -downtown) and drops off very close to fun tourist things like Times Square and Rockefeller Center. About 3 blocks walk to Central Park. I rented a bike from the docked bike stands (which are everywhere) and had a fun ride all around the park, then docked my bike at the south end of the park and rode the #1 back to Ronnie's.
Also 1 block to a good sized city grocery store plus a million little restaurants.
I had a great mini vacation in the city. Thank you Ronnie!
