Sandy's place is in a very safe and convenient area of Brooklyn, close to the Q train. We traveled over the busy Thanksgiving weekend and appreciated the quiet of this neighborhood. Lots of local grocers, shops, pizza places, very authentic atmosphere, not artificial. Sandy was very communicative during our stay and responded quickly to our messages. We had no problem finding parking down the block or around the corner, train was easy and convenient to all of the areas of NYC/or a quick transfer to all we wanted for sightseeing.
