Ruthven's place is ideal for tourists who can easily get to Manhattan etc. through the A express subway. The neighborhood is very quiet, all the rooms are outstandingly clean and very nice to spend some time there. There is a couple of great restaurants just around the corner, and on Fulton St you get all the stuff you need! I stayed there for around one week with my parents (which is great, given that there are two separate bedrooms), and we all loved not only the apartment but also the great communication with Ruthven!
