More About Akwaaba:
This Brooklyn bed and breakfast's property includes a secluded garden, glassed-in sun porch, and shaded courtyard. Afternoon tea and refreshments are provided. A personal concierge is available. Manhattan is about 20 minutes away. The owners also run bed and breakfasts in New Orleans; Cape May, New Jersey; and Washington, D.C.

Personal Recommendation:
My husband and I can vouch that a stay at Akwaaba Mansion makes for a relaxing getaway. It's amazing how quiet everything is inside the inn, and owners Monique Greenwood and Glenn Pogue know how to make you feel at home.

If you're looking for a delightfully surprising place to stay in New York City, Akwaaba is a fantastic choice. We stayed in the Jumping the Broom suite and highly recommend it.
