Sophie and Kotaro, I miss them already, they are the best hosts I have ever met so far. They are a happy, caring, and very hospitable family. They made me feel like I was staying at my favorite auntie's when I was a little boy, only with more freedom.

The place is very clean and very well prepared. I clearly felt that they had done everything to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. I didn't see them much as we were on different floors, but I knew they are there all the time if I need help - only that they have been so thorough with everything that I hardly need to bother them at all.

The place is located in a lovely neighborhood in Brooklyn, with easy access to subway, supermarket and restaurants. During my short, first-time visit to New York, I followed all the tips Sophine gave me, and greatly enjoyed all the places I visited.

Thanks to such wonderful hosts, my first visit to New York was not only satisfying, but also very uplifting. They have created such a strong home base for me, that no once did I feel lonely or out of place in this great city. Than you so much Sophie and Kotaro! I will absolutely recommend your place to all my friends!
