Magnolia House a trip unto itself!
We recently stayed at Magnolia House BnB on Staten Island for three days to explore lower NYC. Their location made for an easy walk to the free Staten Island Ferry which gave us a perspective of daily life and spectacular view of NYC each morning and evening. The real prize of our trip was the welcome and friendship given to us by Danforth and Darwin who welcomed us with open arms into their historic home. Their home is treasure chest of artifacts and stories gathered from their many years as writers and publishers in the fields of travel and celebrity. Still very active in their trade, as well as helping the local community, the opportunity to share time with Dan and Darwin was a trip experience on its own. Recommended for travelling couples as the first floor features two separate bedrooms with private bath and each has large themed sitting rooms. The kitchen on the floor below also has a balcony onto the garden that makes for a nice spot to relax, read or have an after-dinner drink. Other notes: street parking is free and the area safe.
