Velma's place was great! We were a group of 5 and had plenty of space. It's a really beautiful apartment apartment with lots of big windows. The neighbourhood felt very friendly and safe, there's free street parking, and we were only about an 8 minute walk from the subway into Manhattan. Groceries and a couple of really lovely cafes are within a few blocks. Velma lives right around the corner so she was able to respond super quickly when we had an issue getting the internet working. We really loved staying here and would again in a heartbeat! Thanks Velma!
