I needed an Airbnb to visit a relative in Harlem. It was amazing that Belkis’s place was in the building right next door- this was so convenient. The Space: The bedroom was great: big empty closet to put all belongings, nice comforter and sheet set, new towel & washcloth, a glass top vanity (so wet toiletries would not stain wood). The bathroom was right next to the bedroom; water pressure and temperature were very good, it was very clean.

The Host: Belkis is a very helpful and accommodating host. She had friends visiting quite a lot and they were friendly and having a good time. Lots of laughter! They were very considerate and helpful.

On the third day I asked if Belkis would allow me to cook in her kitchen to take dinner to my relative. She was very obliging and helped me find things and run the oven. She gave me space in the refrigerator, too. The next day she was not home and again let me use her kitchen. It was very kind of her and solved the dilemma I was having.

The Neighborhood: Although it is residential, it has restaurants, grocery stores, cafés, pharmacies, churches, dry cleaners and laundromats, and subways and busses all within a block or two. It is all near by. The neighborhood is good; people are friendly.

Recommend? Absolutely. I would like to stay here again if I return for another visit. Thank you, Belkis!
