Bembe is kind and accommodating—you could not ask for a better host. Her apartment is gorgeous and in a great location in South Harlem. I can also confirm the two cats she mentions in the description are really lovely. In case you have allergy worries, everything is kept as free from hair as possible. I have allergies to cats and had no problems.
In a time where New York is filled with companies doing AirBnB under the table, having a local host like Bembe give you a room in a beautiful apartment is a rare and great experience. Highly recommended.
