We enjoyed our stay. The house is quaint and in a very good location for access to the heart of Saint Augustine. Many restaurants nearby. We had 3 couples in our party so it was great that each room had a king sized bed and they were comfortable. We each had our own bathroom another BIG plus. The living area was perfect for hanging out in late at night, catching up. Over all a great visit.

Best Location Ever!!
I stayed at Casa Sophia over Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. It is the perfect location if you want to walk to where all of the action is. The house was warm and cozy and had that old Saint Augustine historical feel. Although we didn't cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal at the house, the kitchen looked adequate. The best part was sitting on the deck watching the people walk by.

Good value
Overall a very positive experience. The check-in process was seamless, location was great for walkable access to a myriad of tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. The only critique is that as a very old property, there was bad odor downstairs, but bearable. Good value for the price.
