This bed and breakfast was recommended to me by friends who live on Staten Island. As a senior world traveller, I know the many differences between a hotel and a bed and breakfast, the key to the B&B experience is understanding communication with the owner ( when are you arriving? when are you leaving? updating if there are delays), the hours of check in and check out and the more modest staffing and amenities, for example there is no elevator or restaurant, but there is a very inviting dining table. It is important to note that this lovely old building has a lot of stairs outside and inside. I use a cane and I take it slowly and I was fine. My room was perfectly clean, the towels were fluffy, soft and fragrant, the bedding was comfortable, and the furniture and décor were a homey eclectic mixture as to be expected in a B&B. I had my own perfectly adequate clean bathroom and shower. The wifi reception was excellent, I had a TV and a very cold quiet little fridge in my spacious room. I also had a hairdryer, an iron, an ironing board, a warm extra blanket and tons of hangers. The place was quiet. Breakfast was basic, varied and plentiful, just like home. The views were spectacular, the area quite safe. I was able to walk the one block up to the main street ( Bay) where the bus takes you straight to the ferry. The shopping and restaurants in the immediate vicinity of Bay and Hylan have everything you need, don't miss Bloom Café or Tony's Brick Oven. I was impressed with how much our host does by himself, taking care of people is hard work. Thank you Moe and see you again!
