Its quiet and safe. Amazing food options within a 15 minute walk. Close access to the 7 train takes you straight to Manhattan or the opposite direction to Flushing Queens, where there's great Asian cuisine!

If you get the chance to pet sit for Tiffany and take care of her sweet furry babies, you are very lucky!

The location is convenient, since it's about a six minute walk from a major station on the Line 7 subway in Queens. Tiffany's house is an easy ride to bustling downtown, but in a quiet area of the city. As for her pets, my nephew and I fell in love with them the moment we met them, they're so affectionate and sweet and all three love to cuddle! I would absolutely love to house/pet sit for Tiffany and her sweeties again!
