    Things I wish I knew before I tried it

    My recent stay was a blend of comfort and quirks. The unique decor and spacious rooms made it feel like home. Mr Gittens' hospitality and informative health literature were excellent. Yet, shared bathrooms can lead to long waits, and the aging facilities occasionally felt dated. Still, a rejuvenating experience overall.

    cozy location
    attentive host
    quiet nights
    limited shower access

    We had a fantastic stay at this cozy spot! The location was perfect for catching the metro, and George made sure we were comfortable with all our breakfast requests. My teens loved exploring the nearby Brooklyn Academy of Music while I enjoyed the peace and quiet each night.

    My kids wished there was more shower access during peak times.

    big headache
    time-consuming issue

    i had a wonderful stay in new york and this place exceeded my expectations with its beautiful eclectic decor and cozy atmosphere. the host was super accommodating, offering a fantastic range of breakfast options, and the communal areas were well maintained. it really felt like a home away from home.

    parking was a big headache.

    shared bathroom

    My stay at Illumination Bed & Breakfast was delightful, surrounded by charming décor and a friendly host named George. The comfortable bedding and well-stocked kitchens truly enhanced my experience. However, I found waiting for the shared bathroom a bit inconvenient. Still, the vibrant atmosphere made it memorable.

    bathroom convenience

    This place was a balanced option for a city break in New York with high value for money. The bathroom situation was a bit weird at first since it's on a different floor, but it turned out not to be a big deal. Make sure to plan ahead for bathroom usage during peak times.
