Lefferts Manor Bed & Breakfast

New York City


Six sunny rooms in this classic Brooklyn brownstone feature tiled closed fireplaces, subtle color palettes and historically styled decor. Five rooms share two gleaming-white bathrooms, while the Parlor Suite has a private toilet and a clawfoot tub. Minimum stays usually apply but get in touch as one-night visits may be possible ($30 fee). Optional continental breakfast. Adult guests only.

The owners also have rooms available in two similar properties nearby, as well as two apartments with full kitchens in Fort Greene.

Downtown Manhattan is only 30 minutes away by subway.
