Brooklyn Zen was THE PERFECT place to arrive for my first trip to New York. I was here on a 2 week yoga teacher training so coming back to Brooklyn was lovely and quiet. Sophie and Kotaro are wonderful hosts who made me feel at home in Ny!! The room was just as the photo with beautiful linen and towels. All the common areas are pristine. I will recommend Brooklyn Zen to anyone travelling to NY, who wants to come out of the craziness of Manhattan to a beautiful quiet home to sleep well at night
