I did a very thorough research in the surrounding area for a place that would be clean, cozy and close to all the sightseeing my family and I wanted to do while in New York. We were very satisfied with Lucienne's home. It was exactly as pictured and even more cozier than expected. The beds were so comfy and the apartment was so very clean. I loved all the décor from the pictures, to the carpets. You have everything you need here. My fav thing of all is that she actually had really good shampoo and conditioner. I have stayed in a lot of different air bnb and they always have the cheap shampoo and conditioner. All the extra touches (cookies and snacks) were well appreciated after a long flight. My family and I absolutely loved it and when we come back we would love to stay here again. The neighborhood looks sketchy but its really not at all. We were very close to New York which made it easy for us to get to all the places we wanted to go. We caught the train into the city and enjoyed.
