Magnolia House transports you back to another time, with well appointed sitting rooms full of cultural objects from around the world. The space included two bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathroom and separate living/sitting rooms, all on one floor. After a cold day out in the rain, we really appreciated a fire in the wood stove. There is a balcony on the back overlooking what must be the largest backyard in Staten Island.
Danforth and Darwin were both gems. It was more liking staying with friends than a commercial transaction.
