The apartament is located a bit far from Manhattan (25-30 min by Subway). However it is located in a very calm area, far away from the traffic and the noisy Manhattan and in a typical Brooklyn neighborhood. Definitely, You will rest very good at Velma´s place. The subway is located around 7 min by walk and there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants around the house. Velma was very attentive with us, asking about our stay and our needs. The toilet was not working properly and Velma fixed it after few days. The home is old but it has the enough facilities to make your stay comfortable.
