We had a nice stay at Velma's place. The apartment was on the 3rd floor of the brownstone and was very spacious, with a large kitchen, large living room, and large back bedroom. The front bedroom was very small, with barely room for a full size bed, with only a curtain separating it from the living room. The apartment was cooled very well with air conditioners so we were quite comfortable. Velma and her family were welcoming, and helpful - the told us about events happening in the area, and even invited us to join them for a cookout. Velma responded to all of our requests in a timely manner. The neighborhood is lovely, with a wide variety of restaurants, stores, and other amenities within walking distance. The subway was only 10-15 minutes away. The apartment itself, while clean and nicely decorated, is in need of some general repairs (plaster falling, shower head falling off from wall, etc) so more attention to these issues would be appreciated. Also, the wifi was very very slow. I had to work while on vacation, and had to go to a local coffeeshop to get my work done. I'd recommend adding a second router closer to the apartment for a better signal.
