Luciana’s apartment was inviting, cozy, convenient & easy enough to navigate getting into and out of the city from. The price and style of the place are what drew us to book and it didn’t disappoint. We spent our entire trip sightseeing in NYC walking about 10 miles a day to see it all in 3 days, so this was a good place at a reasonable price especially because we were only there to sleep & shower. It is a bit noisy at night (being a ground floor apt.) as you can hear people walking by outside, and you can hear the host family talking and moving around next door during the day, but it didn’t bother us and the earplugs provided helped my husband sleep at night. We had a slight mishap with the water kettle (accidentally placed it on the burner to heat not realizing it was electric) but we told the host upon checkout and left money to replace it after looking it up to find out the price of a replacement online. We bought a metro card & used the subways to get into & around NYC and it was a short walk to the subway station from the apartment, I’d recommend doing this (and also downloading the Citymapper app to easily navigate the subway system) over renting a car, especially if you’ve never been to NYC. Over all, us Texans had a blast on our first trip to NYC and this apartment was a nice “home base” after long days sightseeing in the city.
