    I spent 15 days at Fort Place-just outstanding. Paul is a great host,big hearted man and very helpful.Everything was perfect.I didn't see Paul everyday but everytime I need to ask something I just wrote a note and he replied back.The bed was comfortable,Wi fi excellent,breakfast more than enough.You feel like coming back home after a long day visiting Manhattan.The sourroundings are safe,opposite deli not too bad for emergencies,laundry just opposite,few minutes from the ferry terminal,ferry every half an hour, room rate reasonable compared to tiny rooms in the heart of Manhattan.With a 29 dollars weekly metrocard you can go anywhere.THANK YOU VERY MUCH PAUL FOR MAKING MY STAY ENJOYABLE

    Excellent New York City Starting Point

    January 19, 2010

    The owners were very helpful but allowed us our own space. The location was excellent. We walked to the Staten Island Ferry (about four blocks) and took the bus at night for safety reasons and it is up hill. The room and bathroom were very clean.

    spacious, calm and elgant rooms

    July 30, 2009

    we chose to stay here because we loved the look of the rooms, the furniture and the bathrooms. As we suspected it is an artistic, elegant and spacious place. Together with the boat ride from Manhattan it offers peace and calm after a long day exploring the city. Paul was very accommodating too when we had an extra guest - and it was great to see his paintings for real.

    Perfect for NYC visit

    June 24, 2009

    We decided to try this B&B because we figured this is the best location for staging our trip to NYC, since we could park the car here and walk a few minutes to the Staten Island Ferry, and we were very pleased with our choice. Our room was very large, comfortably furnished, bright with daylight from windows all around, and everything was very clean. The owner was extremely solicitous to determine our needs and never intruded, and we could come and go as we pleased. It's hard to imagine any better accommodations for these prices. When you cost out your trip, don't forget to weigh the free parking at the B&B and free ferry to Manhattan, one of the most scenic, exciting ferry rides anywhere in the world, with spectacular views of Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Manhattan skyline. You could save a hundred dollars a day in parking, valet, transit and tolls. This B&B was well-kept and clean. the breakfast was light as you'd expect and of good quality. Ours was served waiting for us in our private dining alcove beside our bedroom, and we had sole use of a small refrigerator and bathroom with clawfoot tub. Be sure to ask the owner to explain the bathroom arrangements. They were comfortable and good but our "private bathroom" was down a short hall next to another bedroom which was unoccupied - voila, our "private bathroom." Not exactly as expected but just perfect. We would not hesitate to stay here again. We truly enjoyed our stay and the owner seemed a kind, interesting, generous fellow, a furniture designer and maker with some interesting pieces on view around the house.

    Happy & would do it again

    October 15, 2008

    Good stuff: Large room & big bath; convenient location; fresh continental-style breakfast; small fridge access. Less than good stuff: Outside road noise (incredibly loud); sharing the bathroom with poor door lock; old TV without cable access. The innkeeper, Paul, welcomed us in a reserved manner but seemed to want no further contact--which was fine with us! We were able to find whatever we needed (i.e. fan to block noise, extra towels, etc.). We did everything on foot and really appreciated the free Staten Island ferry!!

    Good price-performance ratio

    August 14, 2008

    Very close to the ferry (only few minutes to walk). Nice, clean and large rooms (we had two rooms and our own bathroom on one flour). Breakfirst was rather simple but ok. Would recommend to come back again. Very reasonable for visiting New York / Manhattan.

    Family Friendly; a find

    July 22, 2008

    The location was perfect for us to show the kids (8 & 4) Manhattan on a budget. We walked to the ferry, no hassles. 30 minutes from Mid-town; mostly on the boat. Loved it. Great host. Two bedrooms one bath on our own floor. Perfect situation. Charming and well appointed. Fresh fruit and bread for B'fast. Small fridge, dining table and lots of space. Kids didn't like the rabbit ear TV with limited channels, but got over it quickly. Wonderful ethnic food choice everywhere. Reasonable. Neighborhood was dense and urban. Prepare to hear some noise and rough language but folks were friendly. No troubles. Market across the street a real plus for getting sundries, snacks and a six-pack after the walking tour of Manahttan. We'll be back.
