I enjoyed a lovely long weekend in Sandy's charming apartment. Sandy is a very accommodating and hospitable host, who greeted me after my long journey with a welcome plate of brie and grapes. She ensured her kitchen was stocked with my favourite herbal tea, and generally made me feel very much at home. My bedroom (the only one in the apartment) was at the back of the building and was very quiet, warm and comfortable - the quietness especially rare, and thus appreciated, in New York City. The water pressure in the shower was powerful, which made for very good showers. The location is very good, near various subway lines and two blocks from Central Park. As a woman, I felt safe walking through the area late at night. Overall, I would highly recommend Sandy's apartment to anyone looking for a quiet place on the UWS.
