We were a party of four people visiting in september. We liked the authentic brownstone feel of the appartment, it was nice and bright when the sun came in the living room. The beds were very comfy, but the sofa bed seemed a little worn, and the sofa itself worked better as a bed (for one). The kitchen was nice and social! The neighbourhood was also good, people were greeting us and often asked if we needed help with directions. There are two subway stations nearby, one bound for Manhattan and the other one for Williamsburg and Queens. This was perfect for us! All in all we were superhappy with our stay and Velma was a really great host!
