We stayed at the studio for ten days and had a wonderful time. Velma was a great host. We felt very welcome and she was always in reach for us to answer questions or provide help of any kind.
We liked the neighborhood—it is safe but also very interesting. There is a nice wine bar just around the corner and lots of small restaurants. In the morning we went to Delias' at Nostrand Avenue to grab a coffee before catching the A train to Manhatten (only 20 min). The studio itself is nice and quiet and the bed is very comfortable, that helped us to recover from long days on the busy streets of NYC.
