Lovely apartment in a great location! Ruthie's place is spacious and full of charm. It was a pleasure staying there.
The metro is very convenient- about a 5 minute walk to the L train which takes you into Manhattan in 25 mins. The neighborhood is safe and nearby shops and restaurants are fab too. Roberta's pizza, Momo sushi and a choice of quality late opening supermarkets are a few steps away. I'd definitely stay there again!
