This room, space overall and hosts were stellar! I was lost, driving around NJ at midnight and Sophie was more than available to help me navigate. On top of that her and her husband greeted me warmly at 1 a.m.! This was a huge relief.

Her husband even carried my bags up to my room. Which, btw, was awesome! It was huge, plenty of storage space and nice natural light. I loved the minimalist meets contemporary look and soothing colors. Sophie's spouse has hand made much of the furniture :)

I came here to visit my dear Aunt who recently went into a nursing home in Great Neck. Parking was relatively doable, but do give yourself a little bit of time. A couple times though, i found parking on their block.

Bayridge is an interesting, mellow and mostly residential hood with some deep Italian roots and delish Italian restos. I recommend the Hooka Bar: Red Zen on 3rd Ave for a late night drink or whenev. I went myself and met some nice folks. The next night, after an olympian drive to Great Neck and back, I stopped into Aero also on 3rd Ave and had a blast. I sat at the bar, the bartender was great- Rose! tell her Maggie says hi, and met some super nice interesting people. The stuffed artichoke is a must.

Some of the small but welcoming touches when arriving at Sophie's place were: 1. a bag full of 4 juices w/ my name on them in the fridge :) 2. So many yummy treats in my room-merci! 3. Tourist info available.

Staying here is like staying in your own apartment w/ a shared FULL kitchen and beautiful living room w/ lots of sunlight. There are 4 rooms available in this Air bnb, so great for larger friend gatherings and families.

I felt safe here walking around alone as a woman. I was a bit further away then i bargained for to get into Great Neck, at the start of Long Island, but i don't know Brooklyn that well-

Sophie speaks French and helped w/ printing directions, as did Katoro. It was fun to speak French w/ her and at the same time, I had the privacy and space I wanted after lots of family stuff.

The only one teeny thing that was a drawback, was the one bathroom shared by the four rooms. Only once was it an emergency when waiting for someone to get out of the shower...didn't want to knock.

This room is lovely and relaxing and super clean. Highly highly recommend for a nice getaway and recharge!
