We got to check out Downtown Brooklyn’s very own bed and breakfast, 3B, in the unassuming building at 136 Lawrence Street. A co-op of young people living on the second floor of the building took over the third floor a year ago and completely renovated the place into a four-bedroom B&B. Last month they finished all the design elements and have hosted a steady stream of Brooklyn visitors. Overall, the digs are hip but still nice and cozy. Nightly rates run from $40 for a bunk bed in a room shared with others to $160 for one of the private rooms.

Actually no, I am quite squeamish when it comes to hipsters.

Why does everybody assume this is illegal? Perhaps they have everything in order. Why does the FAQ and About Us page make you gag bowl of dicks? I don’t see anything particularly wrong with these people. They seem like nice, creative types who are trying to do something positive.
@Putnam: you are right, it’s the owners’ decision to publicize their business. I shouldn’t have singled out out Emily.
Here’s a comprehensive article:

The law was signed last July, and took effect on May 1st, 2011. It makes it illegal to rent for less than 30 days in a class-A building; since their building appears mixed residential & commercial, maybe there is a loophole?
If it’s illegal, they’re stupid to have a website. Friggin hipsters.
i’m going to have to go check out the FAQ. because i’m guessing it takes a lot to make a bowl of dicks gag.
does 3B stand for three bedbugs?
*rob*
This place has gotten press all over the place. Hard to blame Brownstoner. And perhaps it is legal. Anyone who actually knows?
The FAQ and About Us pages on their website seriously made me gag.
