Velma is a great host. She made me and my family feel welcomed immediately, always very responsive and attentive. She was quickly available for answering all our questions and made her best to help us with all we needed. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, not in the middle of all the "touristic action" but close enough thanks to excellent public transport (subway A and C, and buses), surrounded by historic buildings and friendly neighbors. Although the house is a bit old and could do with a bit of renovation, it is quite charming and clean and it has comfy beds, a great shower and plenty of space (we stayed for around 10 days with a party of 5). Overall, great place for the price, we really felt like home! We definitively recommend it. Thanks Velma for a great stay!! :)
