Lefferts Garden Bed and Breakfast

This place was amazingly comfortable and clean. It has 3 floors with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bedroom i stayed in was roomy with large windows, a spacious dresser, and walk in closet. It was quite hot outside while i stayed there, so the room's A/C was great to have. You have to share the bathrooms, but it wasn't a problem since I rarely saw the other guests. The shared kitchen was also nice. The location was perfect since it's close to attractions like Prospect Park and the Brooklyn botanical garden. Something to keep in mind is that there's only one set of keys for each bedroom, so if you're sharing a bedroom with someone and going out to separate places in the city, you'll need to coordinate with the person. Other than that, it's a great place for a great price.

This is a beautiful old 19th Century home, thoughtfully furnished and decorated to maintain its understated grandeur. If you believe in the impossible - that you can find a clean and spacious place to stay close to NYC on a tight budget, then look no further. It's perfect picture of beautifully aged hardwood floors, stained glass picture windows, palm plants in the shade, and antique dressers but it is not all old world - lot of thought has been put into modernizations that fit perfectly with the style of the house. The showers are luxurious - they look beautiful and deliver copious amounts of high pressure hot water. Its old school class is maintained impeccably. The rooms are spotless, the linen clean, and the beds comfortable. Some people might not be comfortable with the idea of a shared bathroom but it's actually really convenient. Every floor has its own bathroom and my floor only had two bedrooms, and I never saw the other guests on my floor, so it made little difference What I did notice however was that the bathroom was always wonderfully clean. I'm not sure about the breakfast part of the B&B because I didn't seek it out or ask about it, so I can't comment. One thing to be aware of - it's an old house and floors creak, so if you are a light sleeper you might get woken by other guests returning to their rooms. Also, cities are noisy; you're going to hear emergency vehicle sirens and sounds of traffic, as you would in any city home. I kind of like it so it didn't bother me at all - just something to bear in mind. It's very close to the Prospect Park subway on the B and Q lines, getting you into Manhattan in around 40 minutes. if you decide to stay here (and you should), I hope your time is as relaxing and as charming as mine was.

There are beautiful rooms in the cozy brownstone, mine overlooked the street. There are hardwood floors and large windows in each room. Ms Michelle is a gracious host. She is kind, on time, helpful, and knows her guests needs. There are two bathrooms and one kitchen. Everything was kept clean and stocked. The location in Brooklyn is very central and it’s easy to walk to shops, restaurants and transportation while still having a strong sense of neighborhood. I plan to stay here again. Another review from another guest Michelle K: I want to say that Ms Michelle is the best host ever at this B&B….she greeted me with a big smile and so much positive energy. The place itself was clean and so much history in her home….this is definitely a home away from home….if anyone give less than a 5 in a review….they didn’t visit this place….I came during Labor Day week….the area is so nice and beautiful, you can walk to any restaurant or any store to pick up food, snacks or a bottle of wine. Thank you Ms Michelle for your hospitality and I definitely will be back and stay there again…Keep Smiling! Can you add this post ton your review….Michelle K.

I am a returning guest and never feel disappointed so I want to write a review for this place. The house is cozy and beautiful. My room is always clean and tidy when I check-in. The shared bathroom is clean and spacious. The kitchen is clean and there are always cold bottles of water in the fridge. And the hostess Michelle is my favorite person as always. She is so kind and friendly and if you need anything please talk directly to her. She will do her best to meet your needs. Forgot to take pictures, which was a shame 😩

My first time in the Brooklyn area, and i just had to stay in a lovely brownstone, and this wa it. The hostess, Michelle, was very accommodating, helpful and friendly . The loaction was so handy to many places. I felt safe, and everything in the place was immaculately clean, especially the bathrooms, and kitchen areas. ||I will return for sure !!

A beautiful house on a leafy street in Brooklyn, only 5 minutes from the subway which takes you into Manhattan within 20 minutes. A perfect location for exploring Brooklyn neighbourhoods such as Bushwick and Greenpoint when you've had enough of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Fabulously comfy bed, sitting room for chilling out, and a kitchen for preparing your own breakfast and other meals. A bathroom shared with just one other room, with a massive shower. I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful, clean brownstone on a quiet, tree-lined street in the middle of Brooklyn. It is close (5-10 min walk) to the subway station, allowing you to get to Manhattan in minutes and walking distance (5-10 min) to Prospect Park. There are several restaurants/bars/breakfast spots close by. We will be back!

This inn is a beautiful, old brownstone on a quiet block near the Prospect Park Subway stop. Price was about half of the nearby hotel chains, who were holiday price-gouging.My (upgraded) room on the second floor was large and comfortable, with a sitting area. The bathroom was shares with another room, but large, updated and kept clean. There is a kitchen well- stocked with coffee, tea, cereal, etc. but no breakfast served. Only downside was hearing the noise of other guests in the wee hours, which might be remedied with some rugs or carpeting on the stairs and in the hallways. Shannon, the young woman who worked there, was delightful and extremely responsive. If she chooses a career in hospitality, she will be awesome.||Overall, I recommend the place for its, location, comfort and value.
