Luis’s place is amazing! It’s in the best location in Manhattan, in the Financial district right across from Battery Park, minutes from Westfield shopping center, One World Trade, and The Oculus. Woke up in the mornings and took a lovely walk to the pier where we could see the Statue of Liberty!
Luis’s apartment is cute! The artwork is amazing, and he did a great job of making us feel accommodated. He had some fresh fruits, cheese, and crackers for us when we arrived, as well as fresh linens for showering. His apartment has everything you need to unwind after traveling around the city all day. PLUS, his building has an AMAZING sky terrace that you can chill at from 8am-11pm (don’t forget to ask him about the code for it)!
The best part about the trip was Luis’s hospitality. He was away for the weekend but made sure to give us a call/text to check up on us. He also is well-connected in the NYC restaurant circuit. He asked us if we had any dinner plans and went out of his way to book us dinner at A. Pasta Bar (in SoHo) under the owner’s name because he knew him personally! That’s not the only restaurant he has connections with. Be sure to ask him to make some reservations for you! Him doing that was the icing on the cake; the cherry on top that really elevated our stay.
We will definitely be back! Thank you Luis!
