I loved my stay at Lucien's place. For the price of a cheap hotel room you get a really nice entire living space with dining room, living room and two bedrooms. My favorite parts: the Keurig with kcups and coffee bar (coffee is expensive, it's nice to have that taken care of), the fireplace was nice, there were fans in the closets of the bedrooms (I need a fan to sleep, so this was a huge bonus find). It was super clean, the beds were amazing. I just loved it. I will list some cons, but first I'll say that they didn't bother me but they may bother other people. As the reviews have said, there is a security camera in the living room. I had read there was a security camera pointing at the front door, I just assumed it meant outside so that did throw me off. It didn't really bother me because I can understand since he is inviting strangers into his home. Also, it's very obvious you're in someone's basement. You can hear sounds of other life in the upstairs apartment, but you'd hear sounds from other people in a hotel so that also didn't bug me. You can hear the train as it's right next to it, but that didn't really bug me. The neighborhood in the surrounding areas didn't seem the best, but the block the house is on wasn't bad. I was not afraid to go out to my car in the middle of the night by myself. I was just meeting up with some friends from the military over the weekend and we thought it was an amazing place to catch up. We just hung out in the living room and had a few drinks instead of going out, so it was perfect for that. All in all it was a good stay and I'd recommend it as long as you're ok with the small things I mentioned. If you're looking for a place to party, I'd go somewhere else so you don't disturb the family above, but it is the perfect place to just have a nice chill time.
