    We have stay at Sterling twice, both times it exactly what we wanted. The owners were kind and very helpful. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable. The breakfast had everything we could want including homemade scones. The linens were luxurious. It is the best B&B I ever stayed in.

    Wonderful B&B

    We stayed here twice during a return to the US for the holidays and each time it was like coming home -- a level of comfort we've not experienced in American B&Bs; owners are welcoming; breakfasts are real -- freshly baked scones, fruit, excellent coffee; highest quality sheets and towels; and the decor is charming and not overdone. We'll be back.

    Wonderful accommodations & hosts

    My husband and I stayed with Masha and David a few days in October and we enjoyed it a lot. We both agree that it had been the right choice to stay in Brooklyn as we liked to flee the hectic atmosphere in Manhattan and relax from our busy days in the evenings. The Sterling Bed and Breakfast exceeded our expectations: our room was cosy, the breakfast (with fruit, berries, and freshly baked scones and muffins) excellent, and our hosts just charming! We took pleasure in all the interesting conversations and if we were coming back to NY, we would definitely stay at the Sterling B&B again.

    Really enjoyable stay at Sterling B&B

    My wife and I stayed at Sterling B&B on our first visit to New York in September. We wanted somewhere which was clean, friendly and a close location to our son who lives in Brooklyn. Well we got all that and more. Masha and David are great at making you feel right at home. During our visit we managed to sleep in all 4 rooms so we got to see them all. We especially like the Arches room. We will return at some point in the future because its such a great place.
