  • Reviewer: Chuck

    Comments: Ruth and her husband Carlos were great. My daughter and I got in very late and Carlos was there to greet us when we arrived. Everything was very accurate, comfortable and clean. We slept very well after a long day of travel and it was nice to have a place to stay that we felt comfortable so that we could rest well. Ruth and Carlos were very helpful with local knowledge and enjoyed sharing what they knew. The neighborhood seemed fine we were in late and out early so we didn't spend much time. We were very happy with everything and would love to stay again if the opportunity comes up. Thank you Ruth and Carlos for being great host! Chuck

  • Reviewer: Barry

    Comments: I cannot imagine anyway in which my stay here could have been improved. The room was spotless, with its own private bathroom, the bed was comfortable and the house itself is gorgeous. Ruth and Carlos were generous with their time and their home and I was sorry to leave when it came time to fly home.

  • Reviewer: Giuseppe

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos are amazing hosts. They are friendly and welcoming and they made us feel like home. The room was large and cosy. The house is conveniently located in the beautiful and safe neighborhood of Forest Hills just 2 blocks from the express train to Manhattan. I would totally come back. Highly recommended!!

  • Reviewer:

    Comments: 这是我的第一次Airbnb经历,我觉得非常完美。Ruth家距离地铁仅一个街区,整个社区环境好,安全。房间布置干净,宽敞,在纽约能住到这种房子很不错,我是一个人入住,有家的感觉。第二天一早的飞机,距LGA只有11分钟车程,Ruth一大早6点就送我离开,还送我一个饼干。下次来纽约还会住这里,推荐!谢谢Ruth一家!

  • Reviewer: Sharyn

    Comments: Ruth, Carlos and Miriam made our stay most comfortable. They opened up their lovely home to us and were extremely accommodating, often asking if there was anything more we needed. They oriented us, helped us with our transportation plans and made suggestions about what to see and do. The suite was as clean and attractive as the pictures suggest. The attached sunroom was a bonus and probably even more enjoyable in the summertime. The family friendly neighbourhood felt very safe even for us (2 women) walking at night. The subway is about a 10 minute walk from the house and a convenient way to get to Manhattan. There are stores, restaurants, banks, etc. nearby as well. We were told to help ourselves to the breakfast foods that were thoughtfully and generously provided. We woke up each morning to the wonderful smell of coffee brewing. If you're lucky and Carlos is around, he might even make you one of his expert cappucinos! All in all, a 5 star experience for a fraction of the price!

  • Reviewer: Anneli &

    Comments: We had a very pleasant stay at their beautiful house and room! Great hosts and breakfast, we loved the bagels. It was fun to hang out with everyone.

  • Reviewer: Angela

    Comments: Carlos was a great host. He gave us a map of the subway system to get around in New York. We were able to park our car in his driveway which was great and a big help. Our room was nice and clean we felt like we were at home.

  • Reviewer: Spencer

    Comments: Ruth and her family made us feel like we were part of the household. We had fresh-ground coffee waiting for us along with breakfast choices every morning. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room was exactly as pictured, if not even better than the picture suggested! We had no problems with other guests who were as courteous as our hosts. The home is beautifully furnished, but it was a real home, not a museum. The location is perfect for anyone who wants the essential NYC experience without the drawbacks: we had no parking problems, were in a lovely neighborhood, and comfortably close to transportation centers, shopping and good restaurants. After having a few "bad hotel" experiences, we are in love with air bnb'ing for our stays thanks to Ruth & her family. We highly recommend this bnb for the all-important three c's: comfort, convenience and cleanliness. Yes we will return!

  • Reviewer: Traveling

    Comments: Ruth is a wonderful and very accommodating Hostess with a wealth of knowledge. Quick to respond too! She made my business trip stay less like a work stay but more like a home. The space of 500 words can not justify how wonderful her and her family is. I would highly recommend a stay here to anyone and everyone. The location makes it an easy access to everything. Enjoy the fast pace life of NYC and return to tranquility and peace here.

  • Reviewer: Millie

    Comments: Very sweet family who welcomed me in and made me feel right at home. Room, house, accommodations, family and everything else exceeded my expectations and I had a great experience. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place for others.

  • Reviewer: Nadine

    Comments: The room and the house were wonderful. There were so many thoughtful details to make the stay easy and pleasant: a bottle of water, clear instructions for local transportation, restaurants, and how to use the homes amenities. I would definitely stay again.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: FABULOUS! Ruth is a pleasure and her home is beautiful. The house is very comfortable and well maintained, the bedroom and bath are functional and beautifully decorated.

  • Reviewer: Adrienne

    Comments: Everything was great! Ruth accommodated me last minute with no issue. The room was perfect, I would stay here again for sure!

  • Reviewer: Terrance

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos were great host, the emails were timely and informative. The room is great and is exactly as pictured. The three season room is just an added bonus to the bedroom. The location is just a few blocks from Austin Street which is filled with every type of store that one would need. Definitely worth stay there again.

  • Reviewer: Ashley

    Comments: We had a wonderful first experience with Air BNB! Ruth and Carlos warmly welcomed us into their lovely home. We loved the cozy and quiet suite, and we will be back very soon!

  • Reviewer: Sylvia

    Comments: A lovely home and a great room in a great location! Easy to the subway and Manhattan and a nice neighborhood as well. The hosts, particularly Carlos, were gracious and very accomodating. The house is lovely, immaculately clean and the room was terrific! The bed was very comfortable, sheets and towels great, bathroom great and the extra sitting room was a welcome bonus! I really enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone!

  • Reviewer: Angela

    Comments: Our stay with Ruth in Forest Hills was wonderful. Ruth truly is the kindest of hosts. The room is beautiful, and so is the rest of the house. She even provided nice bagels and snacks in the morning, which makes you feel even more quickly at home. Mirjam is also very sweet, and gave me and my sister tips on where to go. I would recommend this room to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: Wow, what a wonderful, relaxing place! And Ruth and Carlos are the best! I can't say enough nice things about this place, including the most comfortable bed I've had away from home. And I honestly can't think of any negatives.

  • Reviewer: William

    Comments: At Yankee Stadium we call it a home run! Our experience meeting and staying at the home of Ruth and Carlos this past Saturday was a winner. We would stay there again the next time we go down to the Big Apple. They are so friendly and the neighborhood was beautiful and we found them without using GPS.

  • Reviewer: Qing

    Comments: I search for words to describe this experience, but I can only say I want it to go back:) The room is very comfortable, in a safe and nice neighborhood. Ruth not only gives clear and thorough instructions before the trip, but also looks out for my needs during the stay. They also have their lovely assistant Miriam there for on site help. All the little details like morning coffee, fresh flowers in the room and so on made my stay very enjoyable. Thank you Carlos for helping me with my big suitcase. What a wonderful family, hope to see you guys again soon. All the best!

  • Reviewer: Stephanie

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos are nice and delight people. They have a wonderful house in a nice community with convenient transportations. Me and my mom love the decoration of their house. The room that we were leaving is deserved the price. I will recommend all my friends who will visit NYC to consider leaving with them. Thanks. Ruth和Carlos真的是很不错的房东,他们的房子所在的区域离地铁非常近,并且有停车位,非常适合想要来纽约玩儿上一阵子的朋友居住。很漂亮的放子,很热情的房东!

  • Reviewer: Barbara

    Comments: Our stay at Ruth and Carlos' home was great. They were very accommodating to our needs: early drop off of suitcases, coffee ready at 8am each morning and a lovely suite for our stay. We wanted to find a spot close to our son's home in Forest Hills and this fit the bill perfectly: 1/2 mile away! Barbara and Mike

  • Reviewer: Leanne

    Comments: Excellent experience. Ruth family are very rice. Room is clean, house is near subway station, the neighborhood is very safe. Highly recommend!

  • Reviewer: Yi

    Comments: We had a wonderful experience through Airbub. Ruth and her family are very nice. The room just like as the photos. It's close the subway(E,M), just need 25 mins to Manhattan.

  • Reviewer: Rae

    Comments: We stayed at Ruth's Airbnb for almost 2 weeks while our bathroom was being renovated. It was extremely convenient to be able to stay in our community, expecially since there are no hotels in Forest Hills.

  • Reviewer: Seth

    Comments: Ruth was very welcoming and accommodating. She made sure I was comfortable and aware of everything. She provided everything I needed. A great host and a great room!

  • Reviewer: Susan

    Comments: A huge thank you to Ruth and Carlos for being so accommodating during our stay in Forest Hills. There home is well-appointed and is exactly as described. The attached private sitting room was a bonus! We needed to stay an extra night and when contacting Ruth to do so, she responded quickly and was able to oblige us. Would definitely stay again!

  • Reviewer: Claire

    Comments: Our host Carlos was perfectly welcoming. He showed us around the house and provided all the practical information that we needed. Our accommodations were as pictured and perfectly comfortable. The neighborhood is convenient for using the subway to travel to Manhattan.

  • Reviewer: Mark

    Comments: The room was exactly as described. The bedroom was a good size, the attached sun room was large and it was definitely a bonus to have our own private bathroom. The house itself was very nice and sits in a safe neighbour, which is only a few blocks away from the express subway line. It was out first Airbnb experience and we would definitely come back here again!

  • Reviewer: Stew

    Comments: I booked this property for my in-laws from Hong Kong while my family stayed nearby in our family apartment. We registered four within the two rooms; tight but doable. We booked the property in three separate sessions over a period of two weeks. We also paid an understandable small fee for an extra person in the room. The house was very nice, furnishings quite cozy and the ground and 4-block distance to the train station optimum. The laundry machine and dishwasher were very nice though a bit hi-tech for the less technically inclined. My wife had to help when the in-laws needed to wash. I do have a few comments. Air-conditioning was inadequate. There was a low btu unit in the living room that serviced that room, the dining room, kitchen, foyer and TV room. Even in moderate heat, the capacity would have been insufficient and NYC was suffering a heat wave at the time. Our folks' boiled lobster, combined with another group of guests' cooking pungent Texmex tacos probably didn't bode well for an odorless environment. The beds were comfortable and room quite pleasant but there was no window aircon. Instead, there was a very noisy standalone room blower. My in-laws elected to keep it off and open the windows. Two of them further elected to hang out on the livingroom sofas until midnight where there was some respite from the heat.

  • Reviewer: Lauren

    Comments: Ruth was incredibly hospitable, and my mom and I had a lovely stay. The room was as advertised, with a sitting room attached. The bed was fantastic and incredibly comfortable. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it

  • Reviewer: Dilshod

    Comments: Ruth is an excellent host. We enjoyed our time a lot. The place was clean and quiet.

  • Reviewer: Emily Kay

    Comments: My room was fantastic and actually exceeded my expectations because of this beautiful sun room that was accessed via my bedroom. The water pressure was just what I needed after a long day at multiple tennis courts and walking through the city. Ruth is a gracious host, the neighborhood was convenient to everything including the metro. I hope to be back next year! Same time same space

  • Reviewer: Marley

    Comments: Had a very nice stay. Room was just like pictures - very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely book this again! Only got to meet Miriam this time. She was very sweet and informative.

  • Reviewer: Katy

    Comments: We had a nice stay here for our U.S. Open trip. The room was exactly as described and the space was neat and clean. Ruth and her husband are kind hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. They left some breakfast foods for guests each morning. The short walk to the subway was perfect for us. The only thing we would have liked to know ahead of time was that we wouldn't be able to lock our room from the outside when we were out. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Ruth and Carlos for a great experience.

  • Reviewer: Bev

    Comments: Our experience here was very nice. The house is what appears in the photos. We didn't get to meet Ruth or Carlos, but we did meet Miriam. She was very accommodating. We had our stay during a hot spell so the AC was not working adequately or we didn't properly set it up. The room was very warm. The shower was great and access to a kitchen was great. We would definitely suggest the AirBnb. The subway is a few blocks away which we used extensively.

  • Reviewer: Todd

    Comments: The room was exactly like the pictures. It was truly like being at home. This is a great centrally located spot for navigating around the Queen, Bronx and NY areas. I was in NY for a couple of day on business and Carlos and Ruth made me feel right at home. The communication was quick and clear as well as any questions I had in regards to where to eat and what to do. The place is only a couple of blocks from the subway system and you can be in Manhattan in about an half hour. I will definitely stay here again when I need to come and work around this area. 5 Star Rating

  • Reviewer: Steve And Paula

    Comments: Ruth's suite in Forest Hills suited us perfectly. We wanted a central location in Queens near the U. S. Open site, and this spot was it. It is within 3 blocks of the subway and within 4 of the railroad. The local grocery store is super convenient and also close. This is a very safe neighborhood and very close to Austin Street where there are tons of small shops and restaurants. Fantastic food and baked goods available everywhere. Ruth and Carlos were around just often enough to be convenient but not too often to interfere with our privacy. And Miriam, the housekeeper, was very friendly and helpful. We walked through three different parks within walking distance and discovered things I am sure most of the residents of Queens are too busy to know about. Because we like exercise, we would stay in this location again without question. It was just as advertised.

  • Reviewer: Joan

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos were great hosts - very welcoming and accommodating.

  • Reviewer: Michel

    Comments: Nice district and nice house, well located for our purpose, close to the subway. A little bit disappointed that our hosts had not much time to welcome us with something to drink when we arrived after this long trip from France. Besides that Ruth and Daniel are very nice. Michel

  • Reviewer: Amy

    Comments: Ruth and her husband were very helpful to us as we arrived and very warm and helpful to us in getting our bearings in the area.

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: Delightful family. Beautiful room with AMAZING sunporch. Close to subway and LIRR. Close to LGA/JFK - I took bus and subway from LGA. Charming neighborhood. Nice commercial strip nearby on Austin Ave. I live in Chicago; Forest Hills sort of reminds me of Evanston. I'll be back.

  • Reviewer: Liz

    Comments: It's a good experience, Ruth is very nice and room is comfortable. I will be there if I will go to New York again.

  • Reviewer: Noelle

    Comments: Ruth was great! She worked with me on booking this for my parents who were visiting from Canada. They wrote: "We were very pleased and delighted with our stay with Carlos and Ruth at their Airbnb. Our hosts were warm and friendly and ensured that we were aware of all of the amenities available to us. It felt like a home away from home! A spacious and comfortable room which included a private sun room, large and comfortable common living room and dining area, and kitchen access. The location was ideal for us - a short 10 minute walk to the subway, 20 minutes to mid-town on the express train, and close to anything we may have needed. I would recommend their Airbnb to anyone and look forward to staying there again on our next trip to NYC." Thank you Ruth and Carlos!

  • Reviewer: Marie-Jo

    Comments: I reserved this beautiful private Suite for a couple of friends who travelled to the US for a wedding. Since the beginning of the dialogue with Ruth, it simply became very easy. I accompanied my friends to the property on Saturday evening. We immediately felt very welcome and were offered a tour of the entire house: Immaculate, warm, ...... My international friends felt immediately very relaxed. They enjoyed the 1st night, the breakfast on the next morning. Idem for the 2nd night. As it was the 1st time I was booking a room in this property, I know now that I can repeat the same scenario any time we will have guests.

  • Reviewer: Linda

    Comments: Another great stay with Ruth and her family. Her home is always welcoming. The location is great for anyone needing to be in Forest Hills and/or wanting to explore NYC since the subway and LIRR are a few blocks walk. The room was bright and cheerful.

  • Reviewer: Ossie

    Comments: We very much enjoyed our time with Ruth and Carlos. They were extremely friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The public living areas were huge and served more than our needs. Our room was wonderful and together with the adjacent patio, we felt we were staying in luxury. We would definitely return. As a matter of fact we showed all our family members our room and they were jealous not to know about it! We wish we could have stayed longer. We recommend it highly, particularly for a family celebration as there are many rooms. Thank you so much, Ruth and Carlos!

  • Reviewer: Stephanie

    Comments: My parents had a lovely stay at Ruth's home when they came to visit. The room was very well taken care of, clean, with lots of private space. They are actually returning to stay there again in 2 months! Two thumbs up!

    Comments: Ruth and her husband gave us a very warm welcome. She send all the information to me before we arrived.The room is just as the pictures, nice and clean. Thanks for the toys which helped me a lot to keep my daughter busy. That's a great experience stay with Ruth! All the best!

  • Reviewer: Barbara

    Comments: We had a terrific stay with Ruth and Carlos. We were welcomed by Ruth who was able to answer any questions that we had. The information we received before we arrived was very thorough and helpful. The accommodations were so comfortable and true to the descriptions and photos. The location was perfect for us. We were so close to family, restaurants, the subway, and more. The off-street parking was the icing on the cake. We look forward to staying with Ruth and Carlos again.

    Comments: Ms Ruth and her husband are extremely friend, room is beautiful and convenient to train station, a Cafe, restaurant and shopping street are just few minutes away, the lady who serve us with breakfast was very helpful and offered us a lot of city explore information, we had enjoyed our stay.

  • Reviewer: Andrew

  • Reviewer: Mercedes

    Comments: The best place to stay. The area and the place. Thanks Ruth.

  • Reviewer: Alyssa

    Comments: Staying at Ruth's house was wonderful! Ruth was a great host, as was Miriam, her AirBNB assistant. Ruth stayed up late until we arrived to show us around, where the coffee was, etc. The room looks just as it does in the pictures, the shower was hot and had great pressure. The little sitting room was nice to have, too - we loved the couches so much we're considering buying our own of the same brand :) We used to live nearby, so we were familiar with the neighborhood and loved being back there. Austin Street is within walking distance with really great restaurants! Try Bareburger (7 minute walk), and Hot Bialys and Bagels down in Kew Gardens (15 minute walk). For first time visitors to NYC, Forest Hills is a bit of a trek to Manhattan (30-45 minutes at a minimum on subway). It is very safe though, and one of the best places to stay in Queens. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

  • Reviewer: Darla

    Comments: Ruth's beautiful bedroom is exactly as the picture shows, right down to the placement of the pillows on the bed. What you don't see is that there is a fabulous sleeping porch with huge couch and lots of windows and natural light! Everything was perfectly clean and neat. Ruth's kitchen was available all day, with English muffins and granola bars. Even though I don't drink coffee, I saw the set-up and an espresso machine. A young woman named Miriam lives in the house, even though Ruth and her family are not there during the week. The house is in a great section of Forest Hills - it's safe and walkable right up to Queens Boulevard, for everything you might need. Keyless entry to the front door is easy and really safe. Because I'm a B&B owner, I think a 'vacation' breakfast might include fresh fruit and eggs, but location trumps all of that. It was an easy walk to see my new grandbaby! Thank you, Ruth.

  • Reviewer: Erik

    Comments: We had a great stay! This was our third time staying at Ruth and Carlos' place, and the hospitality and room was great as always.

  • Reviewer: Bob

    Comments: Carlos, Ruth & Miriam were hospitable and friendly. It was very easy to come and go, and we loved the bedroom with the large sun porch. It was a bonus to be able to use the kitchen; coffee, cereal, etc. were conveniently available for breakfast. The house was in a great location for us with very easy access to the LIRR and Metro trains into Manhattan. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: Karen

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos were great hosts. Answered all of our questions about our travels. Helped us find a local bakery to help us satisfy our sweet tooth. Easy proximity to the subway. The room and bathroom were clean and perfect for our visit.

    Comments: 房子与描述地完全一样。离地铁站和超市都比较方便。附近有个学校,放学后的时间孩子们可以进去里面玩。房子里的公共空间非常大,厨房的东西也很全,可以自己做东西吃,房主提供牛奶/面包/果酱。房主热情温和,给人很舒服的感觉。

  • Reviewer: Kimberly

    Comments: Perfect for our needs. Such a lovely and welcoming home and hosts. Neighborhood is safe and wonderful as well. We simply don't have a bad thing to say! We never dreamed we could feel this "at home" in New York!

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: The room/suite was comfortable, tidy, and peaceful. I enjoyed the sunroom as an extra spot to relax. Overall, the house is charming and in a nice, residential area. The ability to park in the driveway was a major plus. The subway is only a 5 minute walk away as is a grocery, pharmacy, and bank. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Carlos was there to greet me, give me a tour of the house, and answer any questions. Staying here was an easy, comfortable, and stress-free experience.

  • Reviewer: Tiffany

    Comments: Miriam and Ruth were the best. Miriam was the one looking over the house while Ruth was out of the country (she was only a text or phone call away) but they were both welcoming and very helpful during the entire process. The room and house are exactly as they are pictured. Such a cozy and quaint environment. The sun room was our favorite part of the stay. So much lovely sunlight. The neighborhood is also nice and quiet. There are many shops, restaurants and cafes within walking distance. We were always comfortable walking back to the house during our late-night-out's. It was a very pleasant experience and we would stay here again. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: Rita

    Comments: Ruth & hosts were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay very positive. loved having access to the kitchen for quick breakfast. the common areas are lovely as is the bedroom we had. we will definitely be staying here on our next NY visit. great access to subway and local restaurants. even though we saw Ruth & Carlos in passing, I felt as though I was in my own home, thanks so much for your lovely accommodations.

  • Reviewer: Roxy

    Comments: Ruth and Carlos were wonderful hosts! They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was exactly as described. Our room was great and the bed super comfortable. The shower is amazing. Their home is located in a very nice neighborhood and we felt completely safe late at night walking back from the subway. It is in easy walking distance to restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and subway. Both Ruth and Carlos were very helpful with directions and suggestions for everything we inquired about. It was great waking up to the smell of fresh ground coffee to go along with bagels, muffins, cereal etc. If you are in the New York City area this is the place to stay! You can easily get anywhere that may interest you and then return to the comforts of a home away from home. Thank you Ruth and Carlos! You provided us with an amazing first Airbnb experience!! We will be back.

  • Reviewer: Frank

    Comments: Ruth is a wonderful host on this property. We did feel "Home" during this stay. The location is very convenient, and the environment is also feel safe. Ruth is also very responsive even it's a little bit late around 10pm. Appreciate that I can have this awesome experience to stay in this house.

    Comments: The home was as described... I loved it!! Great area close to everything within walking distance. The home is very welcoming and inviting after a long day in the city I was able to snuggle right into bed and feel like I was at home. Great host recommend hands down!! I will be back and I know I have a great place to stay when I go back up north! Thank you Ruth and Carlos for everything!! Ps not that it was required on her part but she graciously took me to the airport and did not have too , that was a life saver in itself !! The best host ever!!!

    Comments: It had been a difficult time for me to find a home stay in NYC until I met Ruth's house. I, together with two classmates (we're three exchange students in US), went to NY for a three-day trip and we'd like to find an Airbnb safe, comfortable and convenient for our tour in downtown Manhattan, but most of the home stay we found before didn't meet all those requirements. Ruth's house surprised me at first: super host, five-star reviews and fair price! I booked the room immediately cause I'm sure it must be a great deal. And sure it is. We arrive on the Friday evening at around 10 pm and Ruth was just there to welcome us. She was such a kind, easy-going person and she introduced us around the house with great patience. The room is perfectly matched with the picture and since we were three people going there, the host even made the bed for the sofa bed so that we could take a rest the moment we entered the room. Everything is just as described, clean, quite and extremely comfortable. There were plenty of foods and drinks in the kitchen and you can satisfy your stomach easily every morning. What impressed us most is that the guests in Ruth's house are all in great manner and the common space are always clean and in great order. What's more, the communication between us and the host (no matter Ruth or other two assistants) were pretty smooth and they're always keen to help. Overall, highly recommend to everyone going to NYC for travel or work! I'll definitely stay in Ruth's house again if I will be in NY again! Thank you so much Ruth and wish you all the best!

    Comments: all of our stays with Ruth and Carlos have been wonderful. We call it our home away from home because it is a stress-free way for us to visit with family in Forest Hills. The room is airy and clean. And there is always a fresh pot of coffee ready in the morning.

    Comments: This was our second stay with Ruth and Carlos. We felt right at home. Bree and David were very welcoming and helpful. We love the neighborhood and hope to visit again.

  • Reviewer: Carson

    Comments: We arrived late, and did not see our host until the next morning. We communicated by text that we had arrived, and were able to easily access the house with the keypad code that we had been provided. Our room was just as described in the photos. The next morning when we went down for breakfast, we met Brie, the resident caretaker, and she welcomed us to the residence. Our room was very comfortable, and we loved the sunroom that came with our room. The common areas of the house were beautifully furnished yet they made you feel comfortable. It was a short walk to the subway for a 30 minute ride into the city. Austin Street, a trendy shopping and eating area, was about a ten minute walk away. The neighborhood was very nice and we felt safe walking around day or night. We visit NYC often, and we might have just found our favorite place to stay. Can't wait to stay here on our next visit!

    Comments: Thank you to David, Bri & Taco for providing a comfortable, clean and welcoming environment. Thank you to Ruth and her family for sharing thier charming home with us. I really felt like I was at home. The sunroom was a perfect place for me to work from. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I had one of the best sleep. Thank you for the bagels and juice in the morning to help start my day. Everything was terrific.

    Comments: Ruth's home is in the perfect location close to public transportation and lots of restaurants and shops. My Mom and I stayed here to visit family in Forest Hills and we felt at home the entire time. Dave and Bri were great hosts. The bagels/cereal and coffee were a great way to quickly start our day. Ruth's home is clean and beautiful!

  • Reviewer: Ran

    Comments: Ruth's place looks exactly the same as in the picture. The location of Ruth's place is great, it's about 15 mins drive to JFK and is also close to Laguardia airport. The subway station is 10 minutes walk away. There is also a private driveway for parking, which should be a big plus for travelers who drive cars. The price was reasonable considering about the location and the room condition. I would recommend Ruth's place for you!

They went out of their way to get us to the train station on time when we had a storm that would not end!!!

    Comments: This is our first AirBnB experience. We are lucky that Ruth and her team have prepared with their heart and soul for our stay in their sweet home! What delighted me during our stay: the breakfast with coffee, milk and orange juice; hair dryer; facilities for laundry and shampoo / conditioner / soap / towels. I brought some redundancies which could have had not brought with me after 15 long hours' of flight and cross border processes. Ruth & the team have been very responsive to our queries and they are very friendly, which really makes me feel at home away from home. We hope to get back when the weather is cooler.

    Comments: 这间Airbnb地理位置很好 离地铁站,超市,药店,餐厅大约步行5分钟路程 里面装修也不错 房东也很友好 但是这间房子有些年头了所以会有一些问题 1.我们入住的时候房间内的厕所马桶开关坏了 不能冲水 但是房东第二天就修好了 2.房间内基本没有wifi信号 想上网只能坐在楼梯上或者下楼呆在客厅内 3.房间的门只能从里面锁住 如果外出是不能给房间上锁的 所以对于物品安全问题有一点担心 4.房间内床头没有插座 不能躺在床上用手机这个很不方便 5.另外这间房子里有狗狗 在房屋介绍中并没有提及 之后预定完成房东私下有沟通告知 总的来说作为superhost 的Airbnb稍微有一点点不是那么满意 但是作为正常的airbnb来说还是不错的选择

  • Reviewer: Thomas

    Comments: Ruth was really good in her communications with us prior to and during our stay. This included recommendations for restaurants especially The Jade. We did not know the area at all but after walking around Forest Hills on our first evening, it became apparent that we had an excellent location for our first time experience in attending the U.S. Open. The travel to / from The U.S. Open via Uber or Lyft worked well. Although we did not need to do so, trains were convenient for travel to NYC. Ruth provided thorough information to make sure we had the correct address of her home and numbers to call if we had any questions. She also gave us approximate costs of transportation from the airport which was helpful to us to gage our budget

    Comments: The house and our room were well appointed, roomy and clean. It was a perfect location for us as we were visiting family down the street.

    Comments: 跟照片与描述一样。 他们家的狗很可爱,因为一直都牵着所以不会有安全问题,也不常看见,如何你不喜欢狗的话。 与地铁站与超市的距离只需要五分钟步行,地铁能到纽约岛内的任何地方,超市很大,能买到水果等等,但没有熟食。 唯一的问题是红沙发的那个房间有点冷,似乎没有暖气,冬天订的话最好先和主人沟通一下。

    Comments: I was the only guest in the house. I met David, the inn keeper, in the mornings as he was making coffee. I had my own space and quietness which was good.

    Comments: We loved our stay in Ruth’s house! The location was perfect, on a quiet street but only few blocks away from Queens Blvd and Austin street, with all the shops, restaurants and subway. The rooms were very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you may possibly need. All the living areas are so nice too, really feels like you’re home away from home. I would definitely recommend Ruth’s house to others and will stay here again. PS we stayed with 2 children and it was very comfortable!

    Comments: This was my second time staying here. Ruth is very communicative and the space was clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The sun room is a nice extra space attached to the main bedroom. Parking in the driveway is a huge benefit in my opinion. Everything you could need is within fairly short walking distance including a subway stop that will take you to Manhattan. Overall, a great value in a nice, roomy home.

    Comments: My family and I had a great experience staying in Ruth’s place in forest hills. The location is very convenient (only a few block walk) to the subway, good restaurants and attractions. We were warmly greeted by Ruth upon our arrival. Ruth welcomed us with open arms. The place is located in a very peaceful and quite neighborhood. This is the most convenient place I have ever stayed in New York. Forgot to mention the free breakfast, (juice, milk, tea, coffee, bread) and a lot more. I will fill a book if I want to write about all the wonderful things about Ruth and her place. Reserve this place, you will not be disappointed. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Ruth.

Great location, comfortable bed, beautifully designed house and responsive/caring host - Ruth. Highly recommend for those who want to stay close to the city and not spend a fortune on hotels in Manhattan.

  • Reviewer: Barbara

    Comments: If you are looking for a place to call home during a visit to NYC, you can't go wrong staying at Ruth's place in Forest Hills. Any of the three bedrooms are comfortable, and use of the common areas: living room, tv room, dining room, and kitchen, truly make you feel as if you're staying in a family member's or friend's home. The master bedroom has a comfy king bed with an unbelievable bathroom. We were spoiled using the fantastic shower and jacuzzi tub! Our son and daughter-in-law enjoyed the ensuite bedroom with the queen bed and wonderfully private attached sun room. Finally, the bright and cheery double bedroom has a nice-sized hallway bathroom for its use. Each morning, you awaken to freshly-made coffee and breakfast items such as bagels and English muffins at your disposal. Having a driveway in which to park up to three cars is a big plus so you don't have to hassle with on-street parking. The closest subway stop is a few short blocks away which will connect you with anywhere you wish to travel in the city. If you catch an express train, you'll be in Times Square in about 30 minutes! We made two trips to JFK airport, which is only a 12 minute drive with no traffic (not counting time spent trying to pull up at the arrival terminal...have fun!). Austin Street with its great variety of restaurants and shops is a short walk away. It's also nice to walk in the more residential section of Forest Hills where the former U.S. Open stadium is located. Even though the house is located near the highway, the school next door buffers the noise, so it's very quiet at the house. One day, we even walked to Citi Field to watch a Mets game. It's about an hour walk, which takes you through the old NY World's Fair grounds and past the current U.S. Open Tennis Center. Do not hesitate to stay at Ruth's place for a visit to the Big Apple!

    Comments: This was an amazing BNB that actually felt like the old-fashioned BNBs with all of the amenities, social interaction with host(s) and wonderful touches throughout the spaces. It was INCREDIBLY comfortable in all regards. Private spaces were roomy, clean and well-stocked with everything we needed -- and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. My husband wants to find the same mattress for home! Our teenage daughter enjoyed having her own little suite adjoining our room to lounge and sleep comfortably on her own. We were lucky enough to meet the homeowners during a busy holiday weekend and they were delightful and as kind as could be. We also enjoyed meeting their resident helper, Dave, a member of the family (and therefore well-invested in our comfort and positive experience) and a joy to spend time with, along with his trusty companion, Taco -- an absolutely beautiful rescue dog who made missing our dog back home much easier. If you are not a dog person, Dave is extremely conscious of your comfort and keeps him on a leash and constrained to a 3rd floor living area away from guests unless you indicate a comfort level with the dog -- so no worries if you don't want a dog around (though for us it was truly a bonus!!). The home is beautiful, conveniently located, includes generous amenities and easy neighborhood parking (and the driveway is available to share with proper organization/arrangements with keys if you need). We hope to make this a regular spot when we are visiting family in NY. It was easy enough to get on highway to Little Neck or Brooklyn, and just SO comfortable. Ruth and Carlos, the homeowners, are kind and seemed genuinely happy to have us. I would not hesitate to recommend this AirBnB to anyone at any time. Just the best!

    Comments: Super comfortable and cozy to stay! Ruth's place is exactly as it is described in the pictures and it's super convenient to get to the city from there! Just barely a 5 min walk to the F/E trains and a very safe neighborhood so you don't even feel unsafe walking back in the late evenings. Ruth's place is so cozy it feels like home away from home, and after spending a full day out walking NYC, we felt so relaxed coming back and sleeping. Would definitely stay here again!
