Velma's place was great for our trip: we got to see Brooklyn and was still easy to get into Manhattan to explore. It was a good size for 4 people and we were able to make coffee and breakfasts there easily with lots of stores nearby. Velma and her husband could not have been more helpful, letting us into the apartment really late at night and then allowing us to keep our baggage at their place on our last day. They were exactly what is good about airbnb! Thanks Velma!
