As a native of the neighborhood and area where Sophie hosted me, I did not need much attention, yet from the moment she opened the door to welcome me I felt so much more at home than I had in my old neighborhood than I have in years. Sophie is an outstanding host, she goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, safe and comfortable in her beautiful and laid back home.

We had an amazing conversation and visit when I first arrived and our connection was immediate...it is impossible NOT to find Sophie infinitely interesting and engaging. She was so kind to have lovely beverages and treats set aside for me and let me know who the other guests were. On that note, I did not see the other guests AT ALL during my time at Sophie's and it was so quiet and absolutely relaxing. Sophie and Kotaro have made an oasis in the heart of Bay Ridge that will leave any guest feeling welcome, comfortable and completely at ease as if you were in your own home.

I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough as a host, the rooms and common areas are clean, lovely and charming. She is welcoming and warm yet unobtrusive and completely laid back and the home and rooms reverberate with her energy. I am almost hesitatnt to rave so much about Sophie's place because I am afraid I will never be able to book it again. If you are looking for an affordable, chill and wonderful place to stay in Brooklyn, Sophie is absolutely the finest host with the most outstanding accomodations.
