Bed and breakfast Illumination Bed & Breakfast
138 Saint James Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238, United States – Great location - show map – Metro access
The room was exceptionally big, the beds clean and comfortable. There was a great sense of historical Brooklyn. It was very warm, so nice to come home to after a day sightseeing in the chill of winter. The TV and Internet service was excellent. If you are looking for a hotel in the usual sense, this is not for you. This is a place of relaxing and history, with a large array of natural products to pamper your body. Breakfast is brought in on order from the local bagel shop and there is a very good selection to choose from. George is an excellent host and his attention to any request is extremely prompt. His service was faultless. This is a Brown Stone home, in the suburbs of Brooklyn and an historical experience. Do not expect Manhattan modern.
New ZealandGeorge and his staff are very friendly! Perfect location and home atmosphere. If you like to visit historical Brooklyn, it’s a nice combination of price and quality.
RussiaGreat property, clean and comfortable with very good location friendly Big thanks to "George" 🤝👌
United Arab EmiratesEverything was clean and the retro decorations made it cute and cozy. There was fruit and water in the bedrooms, which was quite thoughtful
PortugalBut it was clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean. We had fresh towels and a sink in the room. George is very hospitable and took great pride showing us round. Nice to stay in an old "brown stone". A short walk from the subway. Good if you're on a budget and just need a place to stay before another busy day sightseeing.
United KingdomFriendly people, classic Brooklyn property, great neighbourhood
AustraliaThis is a lovely place, run by lovely people. Rooms are big, beautiful and clean. The location is great, close to subway station and nice bars and restaurants, but at the same time the place is very quiet. George and people working with him are very welcoming and accommodating. I really enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend the place.
SwitzerlandNice an quiet area. Big room, owner was very friendly.
NetherlandsEverything was good. Nice location in Brooklyn. Bathroom was full of everything you could have ever needed.
RussiaLocation was exactly what suit our needs for our visit with family. Friendly, courteous host and comfortable accommodations. Would definitely stay again when in the area. Felt comfortable and it's located in quiet residential area. Could walk to whatever we needed for our short stay. Our host,George, made sure our needs were met. He met us upon arrival (9pm) and helped with our luggage. Easy to communicate with.

My property is located in an ideal quiet, friendly and safe location. My 4 story brownstone was the family home I grew up in from birth since 1961. The house was built in 1931 and we maintained it's original architectural designs as much as possible.
I am holistic health consultant and a raw vegan chef.
There are tons of activities, tourists attractions, restaurants, bars, theaters, concert halls, parks, etc in walking distance.
