Sophie and Kotaro are easily my favorite Air B and B hosts that I’ve had to this day. The place was very clean, comfortable and I had snacks waiting upon my arrival. They are excellent communicators and there wasn’t a moment that I felt uncomfortable or forgotten about. The place itself had a lovely balcony with string lights, a nice bed with fresh bedding and a pair of clean bath towels. Additionally Sophie and Kotaro are so considerate to their guests - they have private cubbies and towel racks for each tenant, which they switch out regularly. The kitchen was easy to cook in and their bathroom was super clean and cozy. The whole apartment is really beautiful and in a prime location: right next to groceries, cafes and restaurants - and only 3 or so blocks to the 86th st station. I truly had a wonderful time staying there and highly recommend it to any traveler.
