Lucien's place was a fantastic base for our week long trip. It's an easy and quick trip on the subway to Manhatten (the subway stop is moments away) and it's a short walk to the Brooklyn Bridge. The immediate area is full of fantastic markets, restaurants and bars, we could have easily stayed in the area the whole time!
The apartment itself was great: very clean, light and airy. There's really efficient aircon and the kitchen and bathroom are well set up (we ate in a couple of times and had all the utensils etc that we needed). The artwork was all really interesting and we would definitely stay here again.
Lucien was a great host, very responsive but not at all invasive of our privacy. He left a lovely gift since it was my birthday whilst we were there and also a few local beers in the fridge. We definitely rate him as a host!
