We had a great time staying at Velmas place in Bed Stuy, Velma was a great host and always easy to get in touch with and helped us out with all of our problems and questions. Extra credit for the bottle wine that she brought us one night :) The apartment was cozy and there was no problem to fit in 4 girls with 4 large suitcases in it. The apartment was only 5 minutes away from the tube station and from there it took about 15 minutes to Manhattan. I'd gladly stay with Velma again!
