Bertha is perhaps the loveliest Airbnb host I have met. She has a genuine inner warmth and inner light that radiates to those who stay at her house. She is very uplifting and positive. I am very glad to have met her as my host. She accomodated me so kindly during a situation I found myself in while in NYC. I had stepped off a curb and sprained my ankle significantly. I had to find a place to stay an extra day because of my accident. It led me to Bertha's home. She modified her check in time to accomodate me, and I really appreciate her hospitality and flexibility, because I was not able to drive home that day, and was in a bind. Her home was close to where I was. Her neighborhood is lively and bustling in Inwood. Many places to get fresh squeezed juices and empanadas, and many restaurants that have a Latin cuisine flavor. Very close to the subway. Very safe area.
