Located on the North Shore of Staten Island, in the town of West New Brighton, this restored country-style residence is located in "one of New York City's most agreeable suburbs"(as quoted by mid-19th century contemporaries), yet only 15 minutes by bus to the famous Staten Island Ferry. This fine Italianate Villa, built in 1846, is crowned with a cupola. Original Victorian decor of circa 1850 includes chandeliers, mirrors and marble fireplace mantels in every room. In this jewel of Victorian splendor, many prominent New Yorkers were lavishly entertained, such as Edward G. Robinson, and the famous gangster Bugsy Siegel. Guests will enjoy warm hospitality, home-style cooking, and pampering by its hostess/architect with a penchant for restoring old homes and recreating the spirit of bygone era.

On a recent trip to New York, my husband and I stayed at this B&B and was pleased with our stay. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was yummy. Danuta goes out of her way to make your stay enjoyable. We will stay again next time we are in the area. D Coyne - Massachusetts

I have stayed in many B&B's over the years and can say without doubt this is my favourite. The rooms are incredible. The antique furnishings are magnificent. Breakfast was wonderful and the hospitality and service Danuta provided made the experience even richer.
4.6 out of 5Excellent, original, inexpensive place to stay in NYC

This B&B is being run by a wonderful lady, ms Danuta. She devotes all her efforts to her business. The rooms are outstanding, the atmosphere is very good and calm, and the breakfasts are rich and delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone!

We stayed here two years ago and couldn't wait to get back. Danuta is an excellent host and made us feel at home while visiting the big city. Made visiting New York perfect.

4.2 out of 5Book it / sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhaeltnis
November 22, 2011
The 4 of us (2 couples) stayed there for a week in Nov 2011. We had the entire top floor for us (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), which was great. Danuta is a star. The breakfast is definately outstanding! We came to NYC for the Marathon and Danuta makes a customised all you-can-eat breakfast. We were mad on the potatos (carb-loading) so Danuta made potatos for us every morning... always the way we wanted (boiled, fried etc.). We were also free to use the kitchen to make some food at night. Danuta really makes an effort to make her guests comfortable, e.g. she gave us a lift to the marathon start on sunday morning 7:30 am.... hospitality/service does deserve 5 stars. I have also scrolled down the other reviews and I would like to state the following: 1) Yes, I can imagine that the house may get hot on a hot summer day since the house has no such insulation which one may know from continental Europe, BUT: its a Victorian house and if you do not want Danuta to switch off the AC when making the bed, you should try with telling her! I am sure if you tell her in the morning that you will leave the AC switched for a reason she will not touch it. 2) It is Staten Island and not Manhattan in the end of the day, which means you have to travel a bit to reach Manhattan. For us that was no problem. Buses are going quite frequently (every half hour and in rush hour every 20 minutes). Same frequence for the Ferry. I'd say it takes between 1h - 1.5h from Danutas door to downtown Manhattan. 3) Dinner on Staten Island: We usually had dinner somewhere in Manhattan, but there are also some places nearby, eg. a Mexican bar which has great Tacos... All in all I do recommend this place if you do not mind the travelling to Manhattan and if you are looking for an inexpensive but clean and comfortable stay. If you are looking for a modern 5 star highstreet hotel you may better book a modern 5 star highstreet hotel and not a Victorian B&B..... Nils from Germany

This really felt like home away from home. We felt pampered and the accommodation is very comfortable. The food was lovely and we appreciated the attention to detail.
3.6 out of 5An excellent place to stay at when visiting NY City
August 24, 2011
I stayed at this B&B with three youngsters and the owner went out of her way to please them. We had oddles of space on the top floor of the house all to ourselves. New York City and all the attractions are within easy reach. Excellent value for money.
2.0 out of 5Breakfast was lovely but BEWARE in summer the house is disgustingly hot!
August 12, 2011
Neighborhood was kind of lower income and not what we expected. Parking was on the street if you could find a spot in front of or near the house. Neighbors on all sides had pools and were using them playing music and setting off fireworks till after dark. Interior of B & B itself was lovely but was extremely HOT! No AC so we never used any other rooms. It took most of the night for the one window AC in our room to cool our room down to where we could sleep comfortably. Because of the horrible heat, we left the AC on when we left for the day so our room would be cool when we went to bed that night but upon our return around 11 p.m., found that the AC unit was turned off all day most likely when the beds were made. So once again the room was horribly hot and it took a long time to cool it down again. Since we were paying for the room, the landlord should NOT touch the AC! We did not like the fact that the bathrooms were also HOT with no AC! Terrible to get out of a shower and sweat or go to the bathroom and sweat while sitting on the seat. Very uncomfortable! Breakfast was a lovely spread but because the house was not kept at least somewhat cool, after one cup of tea, we broke out in a sweat and were sticking to the chairs. Guests should NOT have to sweat! It was VERY uncomfortable for the price you pay to stay there. You would think there would have been SOME desire to keep the guest house cooler from what is charged to stay there. Not recomended for people who hate to sweat. Not recommended to stay in the summer or any months that the temperature is over 75!
