The location is fabulous - you can see the water and its only a block to the subway. Much quieter at night than I expected as it is in the financial district, which also means that some of the restaurants are closed on Saturday night. Plenty still to choose from though. Luke's place is more spacious than what I expected for NYC, but keep in mind that the building is very old so will feel very different if you are used to newer midwest suburbian homes. Two flights of steep stairs to the apartment may be taxing with luggage or after a long day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend staying here.
