For practicality purposes, Magnolia House was perfect for us. The location was ideal. Staten Island doesn't feel like New York City, yet within minutes of leaving the house you're passing the Statue of Liberty.
The rooms given to us provided more space than I would ever expect from a B&B and fully accommodated our family of four with privacy that was beyond adequate.
From a personal standpoint, I found the hosts to be fascinating and endearing. After short conversations with each of them, I felt like I had known Danforth and Darwin for years, giving me a feeling of comfort I never expected. My family thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Magnolia House.
