When my husband and I travel, we try to stay as close to the places we want to visit as we can. Last visit, we chose an Airbnb on 76th street so we could be right at the start of the Macy’s parade. This time, we wanted to see the LES, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, see a show at The Public, etc. Stara’s place is right in the heart of all the action and such a great price for the location! She let us know well in advance about how the key pickup was arranged and once arriving, offered to give suggestions of places to visit. We knew that her place was in an older building & were prepared for that as well as how finicky plumbing (the water temp is sensitive) which is all completely normal for the age of building. We didn’t eat any meals in the space since we wanted to try so many restaurants and were thankful to have such great heating (and a window to crack) when we wanted to cool off. The WiFi worked great and we had a great few days at Stara’s place. If you’re looking for a rental in the head of the action that is a genuine NY experience, definitely book this space!
