I booked Sophie's place for my son. He was traveling from Spain to visit colleges in New York for a few days. From our first exchange of messages, Sophie showed a genuine interest in my son's visit and made me feel like my he would be in a nice family environment. Communication was great throughout his stay and he enjoyed meeting Sophie and his husband. He enjoyed having opportunities to interact with the family and have interesting conversations. He also mentioned that it was very thoughtful of the hosts to have a basket of good snacks and a variety of beverages for the guest. Great neighborhood and private room. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
