    We had a wonderful stay at Escape. Adrianne, Elizabeth's daughter, was our "inn keeper" and she couldn't have been more accomodating. Anytime we had a need, it was met immediately - without delay. It was quiet (yes, even in Brooklyn!) and very comfortable. It was hard to believe there was a "full house" for the 4 nights we stayed -it was sooo peaceful. -Cynthia and Jerry from Seattle

    Cozy B&B in a great neighbourhood

    I was staying in the great Escape Guesthouse for 10 days in december 2010. It is perfectely located, very comfy, quiet and safe. The neighbourhood with it's nice restaurants and bars is absolutely charming. The owner and staff are very nice and so helpful. Breakfast was also great! Great coffee, bagels, cerials, fresh fruits, a daily newspaper and a nice chat. Feels like home. We definately will stay here again!

    A few minutes away from Manhattan. Nice charming place away from the hustle and bustle of NYC. The owner was very kind and helpful, too!
