Starling's place is beautiful. Yes, it is a 3rd floor walk-up, but it is worth it. He keeps it very clean and the furniture including the bed is very comfortable. He has an Apple TV converter on one TV and an Amazon fire stick on the other TV. The bedroom is plenty big enough for suitcases to set open on the floor and still have plenty of room to walk. The kitchen is even nice sized with a small table to even sit down at to eat. This is the joy of staying farther up north in Inwood, there's space! The 1 train (local) is just around the corner of the block from the apartment, so that makes commuting a little easier. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants around the neighborhood, so you won't need to travel far for a bite to eat.
Overall, Starling's place is a very comfortable spot to stay. I was in town to just finish up some work, so I'm never concerned with the touristy stuff. Therefore it was an ok spot for me. If you don't mind a longer commute to save money on comfortable & clean accomodations, this is a great place to stay.
