I stayed at Ruth's home for 7 nights. Ruth's home was cozy and comfortable. She also made breakfast every day and I was able to eat it at my own pace, which was nice because I am not an early riser. On my first night, Ruth also gave me an extra blanket because it was fairly cold in Flushing during the week that I was there. :)
Ruth was also kind enough to draw me a map of the area with good places to eat and other information. With Ruth's map and Google Maps, I did not have too much trouble getting around. It took me about 15 minutes to walk to Main St. (where I can take the subway to get to Manhattan). It's pretty easy to walk there and it might take less than 15 minutes depending on how fast you walk.
There is only one bathroom in the house, but it is pretty large and spacious. It wasn't ever an issue, though. Usually, it worked out because everyone used the bathroom at different times.
Ruth was truly a wonderful and kind host! Whenever she wasn't at work (usually the weekends), we had more time to chat and she was very friendly. :) At the same time, though, I did have my privacy and was able to do my own things as well. She was also good with responding to texts in case I ever had any questions during my stay.
You also get a key for your room and the house. It was a little confusing on my first day because I didn't realize that they don't use the front door, but use the side door instead. After I knew that, though, I had no problem getting in and I liked that I had my own set of keys.
Lastly, Ruth also has a water filter attached to her sink, so for anyone who is interested, you could bring your own water bottle and not have to keep buying water. :)
Thank you for a wonderful stay, Ruth! :)
