We had a wonderful few weeks stay as a guests of Ms. Velma in one of her 2 bedroom BedStuy apartments on "M" Street--not the studio. No problems with the studio, my husband just likes more space and Ms. Velma was kind enough to move us to a larger unit and so generous that she didn't charge us the additional cost for the larger unit.
Throughout our stay, Ms. Velma was just amazing. So attentive and responds immediately to every message. The apartment was clean, even though she wasn't expecting us, and during our entire stay Ms. Velma was in the building several times each week to clean the common areas, put trash out and doing laundry for other guests and she offered to wash our linens and towels and bring fresh linens and towels. She is a remarkable woman--her days filled caring for her family and Airbnb guests and she somehow always maintains a positive and kind outlook and pleasant demeanor.
The neighborhood is friendly and people say "hello" on the street--not common in New York. Ms. Velma knows all about Brooklyn and is a wonderful source of information. You can't go wrong booking with her.
