The room was right off the small lobby that you enter from the elevator, the bathrooms are located right there also. The staff was extremely helpful with all my questions and very helpful when it came to setting up the room for the event. We wanted to do quite a bit of decorating which was fine with them, we cleaned it all up after of course, they supplied plenty of garbage bags. There is also a small kitchen that came in handy. They had the seating and the tables and the lighting that we wanted, plus a grand piano too. Good location, just a short walk from Penn Station for those out of NYC and subways for everyone else. We all had a great time. Thanks again to Balance Arts Center!

I took the introduction class of Alexander Technique from Ann and it was an awesome experience. Ann helped me to adjust very subtle postures and with her hands, I could try my best to remember them. This made my daily walking more fun - I became more mindful when walking and try to practice anytime and anywhere. This class also greatly helped me to be more aware and improve on my ballet class. I first came to this place not because of the class but because of private meditation sessions. This place has become one of my secret oases of peace in the city since then. This place is so well managed and could provide me a strong communal feel. This is a place full of LOVE!

The bed was comfortable, the linens crisp cotton, the ensuite bathroom in my room (the other 2 rooms have private baths accessed from the hall, but exclusive to the rooms) was large and newly renovated. The room had a flat screen TV with all the cable stations, including premium channels. Arlington Pl. is a quiet street, yet within a five minute walk to a main drag with restaurants, pharmacy, grocery stores et al. I felt welcome and at home. The 'innkeeper', who lives on the property, was helpful in every way. There are several large public rooms that guests can just hang out in. They have done a great job remodeling this property. Highly recommended!

What's worse is I had the privilege of experiencing this during my wedding weekend. Left a few messages leading up to the weekend which went unreturned so I decided to stop by. You would have thought I'd broken in. I understand there was an event going on but there are nicer ways to be ushered out. Had my rehearsal dinner at the B&B the Friday night before the wedding (some of the guests sat in the garden behind the kitchen) and actually had the next door neighbor come by to say the event was supposed to end at 8pm. We weren't loud and only went until 8:45pm which is pretty tame for the Friday before Memorial Day. We offered to pay for it but were told by Ambyr that wasn't necessary as long as we finished by 9:00pm which we did. Last fatal error - stayed here with my new husband on my wedding night. The neighbor in the brownstone directly behind ours held a loud backyard party (complete with a live band) that went until 3:00 am. Ambyr, who manages the Inn, said she had gone over to the neighbors to say the party was affecting her guests and went so far as to videotape it so she could show Liz just how awful it was. She even told me that given our proximity to the whole thing that she had recommended to Liz that we be comped for the night (a courtesy that Liz was adamant about not extending). Had I been staying anywhere else one of three things would have happened - we would have comped, offered a different room (not possible given the size of the B&B) or offered a free return visit. As recompense we were generously not charged for the 45 minutes that we went over for our rehearsal dinner - something Ambyr was already not charging us for. And while Ambyr was apologetic about my horrific wedding night and understood when I told her that I almost checked out of the B&B that night, Liz didn't even have the decency to reach out to us. I truly got the impression that she could have cared less. Being an absentee innkeeper is totally fine (especially given Liz's less than warm personality) but at least consider empowering the person managing the Inn to make appropriate judgment calls. If she says she's not going to charge us for something, don't charge us. If she says it was a horrible night and that we should be comped, take her word for it since she was actually there. It's all well and good to have a fancy inn full of beautiful things but it's the people that make the B&B and judging by that standard, this place fails miserably. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60827-d8664004-r381846457-Arlington_Place_Bed_and_Breakfast-Brooklyn_New_York.html#

As a venue, it's classy and chic. From the perspective of an event planner, it's several months of work. The empty whiteness needs to be color lit, the audio needs to be set up and stretched to the far corners of the room and the ground needs something to un-hinge it from the wall and add dimension. Furniture needs to be brought in, electricians, and coat closet workers. The beauty is both in the simplicity of the space, and the amount of imagination (and $$$) to execute a really fantastic event or show here.

At first sight this place has a calming effect and atmosphere. The plants, simple wood decor and inviting interior welcomes you with open arms. I just loved this open space that seems ripe for socializing. I ordered two types of empanadas as I was told they are known for these. I got the organic chicken and the portobello mushroom. The first thing I noticed is that the crust has flaxseed and looks super healthy without any colors or preservatives. For $6.50 I found the empanadas to be a little small, and not as generous in the filling. The chicken empanadas could definitely use more chicken. The portobello mushroom filling was delicious, but I do think they need to dry it out a little bit before they fill it because biting into it, scalding hot liquid poured all over my face and that was not pleasant at all. The sauces that came on the side were absolutely delicious, the cilantro was so thick and delicious, and Herb-y and the chipotle sauce was also made very well with the smoky kick to it. Would that being said, the space is actually really beautiful and as a yoga enthusiast, I cannot wait to return here to try some of their Vinyasa yoga classes. If you are in the area, please drop in and check this place out, it's totally worth it.

We planned our wedding from out of state, and this proved to be be a non issue for the staff as they easily set up phone call and zoom sessions with us and our coordinator. We felt the pricing and expectations for what was available and offered to us clear and well explained. This is an amazing space that is essentially a beautiful blank canvas, meaning you can do as much or as little as you wish here. Our day of coordinator helped us secure many vendors to fulfill all the duties of the space, almost all who had worked events here before and had nothing but good things to say. When the day of arrived, we were given free reign of the space and politely checked in with every few hours to see if we needed anything on their end. When the wedding kicked into full gear we had a small unexpected hiccup (outside their control), which they promptly worked to fix and followed up with us after the wedding. I really felt they did an amazing job with customer service and providing a clean, open space to make our dreams a reality. We brought in two food trucks, and two drop off catering to which the space lended well. The house bar staff was great and the whole day truly was a dream. TLDR; This is an amazing space, that really lets you fulfill all of your DIY dreams. It's beautiful enough on its own, but lends well to any additions you want to bring in. The house staff was great and we would definitely recommend to friends and family!
