My friend and I really enjoyed staying at Sophia's place. It is super close to a subway stop (like barely 2 minutes) and there is another stop as well maybe about a 10 minute walk away.
The place is pretty far out in Brooklyn, so when you go out for the day you will probably be out for the whole day as it can take some time to get back to the apartment on the subway.
For us the location was perfect and we spent our days wandering around NYC and then enjoyed coming back in the evening and relaxing in the apartment.
Completely out of Sophia's control but one night one of her neighbours was having a wedding and celebrated the occasion late into the night. It was definitely a one off thing and I really appreciated that Sophia sent us a message apologising for the noise even though it wasn't her fault and we didn't mention it cause we figured it was a special occasion. This showed to me what a kind and considerate host she was.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
