Staying at Velma's was my first Airbnb experience and also a very nice one. The apartment was spacious, clean, light and very well designed. During our stay, there was a problem with it and Velma presented herself very helpful to find the best solution for us. My sister and I then moved to another apartment next door. The neighborhood is peaceful and above all, safe. There are a lot of coffee shops and a large supermarket on the main street. I ordered some things over the internet and the host was always there to pick up and the give to me later. I would definitely recommend for people who are staying long periods in the city. It's a five-minute walk until the subway station and it takes about 20 minutes until Manhattan. Unfortunately it's not within walking distance to any famous touristic spots, but there is a huge shopping area next to Barclay's Center, only 3 stations away. I'd like to thank Velma and her lovely family for being so careful and kind. It made our trip much more enjoyable.
