Ronni's place was an affordable and cozy home-base for a weekend conference at the nearby Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Easy walking distance to several different subway lines back to Manhattan and the other borroughs. My schedule didn't allow time to explore the surrounding neighborhood but I did stop in for a hand-crafted cocktail at Tooker Alley, a speakeasy-style cocktail/small bites bar (yum). In the short time I was in the apartment, I enjoyed getting to know Ronni when our paths crossed- an incredibly kind and accommodating host. If you are planning a cost-conscious NYC visit with a comfortable bed in a convenient Brooklyn location , Ronni's is highly recommended.
