Lucien's place is a great place for a genuine local Brooklyn experience. The space is well located and there are lots of great restaurants and bars close by. The metro station is a few metres away with easy access to all the key tourist sites in Manhattan. Julian is a pleasure to meet and his communication before our arrival could not be faulted. He is a genuine caring man who really wanted us to have a great stay. He even left us small gifts to make our stay even more memorable! The only down side of the apartment the very small size of the space, but this is NYC! Also there were renovations underway in the next apartment but it didn't have a huge impact on our stay. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay, we easily cooked dinner on a couple of nights. The area is quiet and the neighbours are very friendly. The area felt very safe.
We would recommend Lucien's place for a genuine NY experience
