Sandy's apartment is in a brilliant location, right between the two 72nd street subway stations, and close to Central Park. The area is nice and quiet and safe, with local groceries shops and laundry places nearby.
The apartment is really lovely, old fashioned in the best sense. Very cosy and comfortable. The bed and duvet were STUNNING in a silent room- I passed out the second I hit the pillow every night. Super comfortable. Everywhere was very clean. Bathroom was spotless, with space left for my toiletries, and huge new sink you could have a bath in.
Sandy was a really lovely and conscientious host/housemate, and did all she could to make my life easier. She heard me coughing in the night and left me cough medicine at my door the next morning. Very kind of her. The only thing I was worried about was my schedule disturbing her- I worked long hours, up early and bed late, and I was nervous that making noise in the kitching/living room would disturb her- although she always assured me it didn't. She was also away a few days while I was there which I felt she did for my benefit.
Very happy to have stayed there, and I'd certainly recommend Sandy's beautiful apartment.
Thanks again, Sandy!
