Grâce à la qualité de ce B&B ,situé au calme dans un quartier typique de Broolyn, nous avons pu profiter pleinement de notre séjour d'une semaine en famille à NYC. Nous avions à notre disposition les trois grandes chambres (35 m² chacune,grand vrai dressing, literie moelleuse, mobilier d'époque) et les deux salles de bain (marbre et vitraux) du premier étage ainsi que le très séjour salon du rez de chaussée. Les petits déjeuners étaient copieux, gourmands, variés et "esthétiques". Et que dire de l'accueil chaleureux, prévenant,discret et convivial de Trudy et Paul. En résumé cet hébergement à répondu pleinement à nos attentes et nous le recommandons sans aucune hésitation.

We had a most outstanding stay at the Blue Porch and we enjoyed it from the first to the last minute. It was outstanding by any means. The room is spacious and comfortable and provides space for your luggage and is very quite. Together with the comfortable bed we got a perfect good night's rest. The quality continues with the bathroom we had with it's great shower and the double sink. The breakfast that is served is magnificent. Besides fresh fruit arranged as a pleasure to the eye we has different types of homemade muffins and cake as well as some other specialties always accompanied by a great coffee as well as matching music. Trudy and Paul are great hosts. They made us feel welcome and we enjoyed discussing our plans for the day and the experiences an discoveries we made throughout our tours.Especially as they always had good suggestions and helpful hints and maps as well as a nice talk with us. Anytime we come back to New York and Brooklyn there will be no second thought for us where to stay. The Blue Porch it is! We recommend this place to all of our friends going to the areas without any hesitation. Thanks to Trudy and Paul for our wonderful stay!

This was our first trip to New York and we were ever so grateful that we chose Trudy & Pauls excellent Bed and breakfast instead of choosing an anonymous hotel in downtown Manhattan. Everything was exactly as described below: the wonderful room and the outstanding breakfast - nothing more to add. Manhattan was easily reachable by express metro b and local train q. But also the direct neighbourhood and Brooklyn itself are really worth seeing. Your hospitality really made the difference to our trip, as well as your insights to the cities places. Thanks to the music at breakfasts we finally ended up listening to a concert in Avery Fisher Hall :). Thanks so much, we hope to come back! We wish you all the best and all future guests a wonderful stay at the Blue Porch B&B

The nicest hosts in New York City, a beautiful house, lovely breakfasts and chats. It´s a wonderful place to go. It´s the first B&B I´ve ever recommended to my friends - even with kids. Thanks again for everything, dear Trudy and Paul!
5 out of 5Home away from home
June 22, 2012
My husband and I just did a road trip through the Eastern USA, and had the pleasure of staying at the Blue Porch B&B along with several other Bed and Breakfasts. Every place we stayed was nice, but Blue Porch was by far the most personalized service, and Paul and Trudy made us feel like we were at home. We arrived to a warm welcome, were given lots of information, maps, etc to help with our plans, and awoke each morning to a beautiful breakfast with home made baked goods, fresh fruit and good coffee! Our room was bright and the bed comfortable. We booked the upstairs/downstairs package which was a little cheaper, but due to a cancellation, they let us use the bathroom on the same floor for no extra cost for a couple of days. That being said, the downstairs bathroom was nice as well. Both Paul and Trudy are intelligent and well read, so we had some interesting conversations as well. The location is perfect - only a few minutes walk from the Subway (which can take you pretty much anywhere), and there are quite a few nice restaurants only a short walk away. We'll definitely be returning to Blue Porch the next time we're in NYC!
5 out of 5Warm friendly hosts and a comfortable stay! Highly recommended!

I just returned from my stay at The Blue Porch Bed and Breakfast and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We were warmly welcomed by Trudy and made to feel right at home. Our rooms were lovely and comfortable with Trudy always making sure we had anything we needed. Paul was there in the morning too to greet us and had the warmest smile and wonderful laugh. Trudy's breakfast was always wonderful and unique. With quiet strains of Mozart or any other music we wanted it was a great way to start the day! They were also very helpful in giving us directions around the city. The Newkirk Plaza Subway station is just a short 3 block walk and with one simple train change we were able to make our way to lower Manhattan. There are plenty of places for a quick bite to eat at the plaza or down the block. I slept very well on a comfortable bed and never felt more safe and welcome anywhere I've traveled. I would not hesitate to recommend and if I ever find myself back in New York I'll be sure to stay again.
5 out of 5A Warm and Wonderful Stay in Brooklyn
February 22, 2012
Our week in Brooklyn for our son's wedding was made even better by the warm hospitality of Paul and Trudy. They were gracious and kind, even inviting our son and his wife for our last breakfast, making our stay even more special. The lovely room, the delicious and even exotic (one was Turkish!) breakfasts, the beautiful music, the charm of their home and their own delightful personalities helped make our week just wonderful.
