The warm and generous hospitality of Paul and Trudy (not to mention the fabulous breakfasts!) was the best feature of this outstanding New York bed and breakfast secret. Furthermore, they were exceeding helpful with issues regarding transport, dinner dining and tourist destinations. When I caught a cold, they went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that I...

Wonderful place to stay! Hospitality, location, food, atmosphere, accommodations - all spectacular. Couldn't have asked for more in a B&B. We will absolutely return.

Our recent weekend stay at the Blue Porch Bed and Breakfast was everything we'd envisioned and much, much more. Since our grandson was born a year ago, we like to sample B & B's near our daughter and son-in-law's Prospect Park, Brooklyn-area apartment when we go to visit. You couldn't ask for more comfortable and relaxing accommodations than Trudy and... More

I usually shy away from B&Bs, preferring the anonymity and privacy of hotels. But we decided to give the Blue Porch a chance, given that we wanted to experience Brooklyn from up close and stay away from Manhattan. The Blue Porch came highly recommended by friends and was ranked #1 on Tripadvisor and so we booked. We never once regretted... More

Our week long stay in Brooklyn for our son's wedding was made even more special by the warm hospitality of Paul and Trudy. Being our first bed and breakfast experience, we cannot make comparisons but also cannot imagine a better time could be had anywhere else. From the comfortable room to the fantastic and even exotic (one was Turkish!) breakfasts... More

The Blue Porch will impress the most seasoned B&B enthusiasts, and it may even convert some hotel loyalists. It is hard to extol the BP's virtues without bringing attention to its two knowledgeable and humble proprietors, Paul and Trudy. These folks are really what make the little cosy blue cottage a home. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted... More

Trudy and Paul provided us with a wonderful base for exploring NYC for the first time. Not only did they provide us with very comfortable lodging, but they also made us feel at home. We enjoyed chatting to them, swapping stories as if we were old friends coming to stay. In addition to the good company, there were the amazing... More

While in New York visiting with friends and family, we decided to base ourselves outside Manhattan, in what proved to be the interesting and convenient Brooklyn neighborhood of West Midwood, at the Blue Porch Inn. It felt like a home away from home for the three days and nights we were there. The house itself had charming and comfortable (real)... More

Paul & Trudy welcomed us into their home & in a short time we felt we were real friends. Because of their knowledge we saw much more of the’ hidden’ New York than we have on previous visits. The Blue Porch is a credit to these two wonderful people. It is ideally situated for the subway into Manhattan & is... More
