Stara's place is exactly as described, and was perfect for my week's stay in New York. Stara always responded within a few hours of my messages, which made communicating about check-in and check-out very easy. The location is really quite perfect, with easy access to all your shopping needs and tasty eats. It's also very quiet at night, so I could get some good rest with only occasional upstairs footsteps to be heard.
Note that the building is an older one, which is reflected especially in the small bathroom style, but everything works well. The only downside was that for two nights out of my stay, I had a mosquito invade and had to hunt it down and smash it, but not after being bitten a few times. If you're mosquito bait like me, maybe reconsider, haha.
Thank you Stara for a lovely place to stay!
