Sandy's place on the Upper West Side is perfectly located - close to the subway, fabulous grocery stores, cafes and restaurants and within walking distance of the great museums of New York. Sandy was away at a conference during most of my stay, but called me and gave me step-by-step instructions to pick up the apartment key and let myself in. Her apartment is lovely - very quiet and cozy and I felt at home immediately. The bedroom is large and airy with a desk for writing and wi-fi, so internet access was easy and reliable. The bed was very comfortable. Sandy generously left me a plate of fresh fruit, crackers and Brie - a really nice touch!. We finally met on my last day in New York and she was warm, charming and a pleasure to meet. I highly recommend her place and will happily stay at Sandy's again.
