Ruth's place is a renovated brownstone in a very convenient and safe location. Being a brownstone, of course, guests must be ready to climb two flights of stairs to get to the room, which is very large - actually larger than what it seems from the pictures - with amenities and ample space to store one's clothes and belongings. It faces the wall of another building, but it has two windows.
The bathroom is just outside the room, and we had it mostly for our own use.
The house is spotlessly clean. Ruth is a very gracious host who responded quickly and made everything possible to make our five days with her enjoyable.
