We stayed with Lucas & his partner Kevin for 5 nights. The guestroom is most suitable for couples, includes a double bed, TV, PC & storage. Most of the time they were either out or doing their own thing, so we had the apartment to ourselves, a single long room which included sun/sitting room, lounge, kitchen & laundry. The shared bathroom was off the side of the kitchen. We met some of Lucas’ friends & got to speak with New Yorkers. Our only concern was with the steep & narrow two flights of stairs up to the apartment, carrying heavy luggage, but this was only when arriving & leaving.
Lucas was a most gracious & helpful host with plenty of advice on things to do, willing to talk about his life & city. The apartment is well equipped & clean, with easy access to public transport, lots of eateries & food shops, close to the downtown attractions & Manhattan’s action but far enough removed to be peaceful.
We would highly recommend Lucas’ place for your stay in NYC.
