    Our stay at 'the Griffin Bed and Breakfast'

    June 10, 2013

    We stayed at the Griffin B & B for a long weekend during the beginning of June 2013 and greatly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, inviting and I enjoyed the privacy that this Bed and Breakfast offers. We were also pleased to see that the subway connection was easily within walking distance. Jeannine and her family couldn't have been nicer and more welcoming. This is a great place to stay and we hope to be back again soon.

    Relaxed at the Griffin

    May 16, 2013

    We stayed at the Griffin for 5 nights in April and enjoyed an excellent stay. The property is in a quiet neighbourhood, is spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and good linen, and the space is generous and well equipped. Our hosts were charming and helpful and we were treated to delicious breakfasts. We spent time in Manhattan but also explored Brooklyn and can highly recommend Sunday morning at DUMBO where there are all sorts of delicious food stalls, a carousel and a great ambience...and you must visit Coffee Mob, their stylish new coffee shop - seriously good coffee and good company. We'd go back without hesitation, Jeannie (London)

    Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a weekend in December 2012. Clean, private, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished. Buck is a wonderful host.

    Thank goodness I found this space. Buck is awesome, the space is gorgeous, and everything is ready, clean, and spa-like. I travel to Brooklyn regularly, and this B&B will always be my first (and only) choice.

    New Vacation Venue

    October 09, 2012

    I paid money to stay here and wind up thanking the hosts as if they'd done me a favor! That's how great the space and value compare. Spotlessly clean. Very spacious. Completely private, we had our own entrance. Safe, dead-end street neighborhood. 3 mins to the Q and B lines that run brooklyn through Manhattan. I woke up on my birthday morning in one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in ever. Griffin and Jeanine were excellent hosts. They think of everything, from from hair-dryer to butter! They can also give you pointers on how to get around... Safe to say that they can expect me here again, and probably again after that... thanks guys :)

    Wonderful Stay

    July 10, 2012

    Lovely, lovely accomodations. Plenty of room to move around, huge bathroom, well-stocked kitchen. Bountiful breakfast - host wrote ahead to ask if we had any dietary restrictions. Quiet, pretty street. Convenient transportation. Good sheets and towels.

    Serenity in Brooklyn

    July 11, 2011

    We are a family of three from Melbourne Australia, and after a grueling flight we finally arrived at the Griffin in the early hours of the morning and were so relieved to find such a lovely abode. The photos don't do justice to the cool, calm spaciousness of this accommodation. Delicious breakfast goodies every day, lovely little extras in the bathroom and room to spread out when you need to after a day of crowds and noise. Close to the Metro and easy walking distance to some great food in a lovely neighborhood. Even in the heat of summer, once you turn into the location of the Griffin, the beautiful green street scape cools you down and you are glad to be "home". The owners are so friendly and helpful and are very happy to give advice and answer questions. We would gladly stay again.
