I don't think there could be a more welcoming or charming host than Lucien. I lived here for two weeks while having work done on my own space and I loved the area. Some of the best restaurants and cafes. So easy to get everywhere - other parts of Bklyn or Manhattan via the F and G trains. I love Lucien's taste and his art collection was inspiring. He had fresh flowers in the apartment: daffodils and then ranunculus! Beautiful. I was lucky enough to have a croissant delivered to my door on Sunday!! Does it get better? The kitchen had everything I needed for daily smoothies and superb coffee. The shower / bath had the hot and cold inverted (an adorable quirk not uncommon in nyc) but provided great water pressure. The apartment could not be closer to the subway. Lucien runs The Invisible Dog (two doors down) which is a great resource for art and cultural events. Downstairs is 61 Local for great coffee in the morning or wine and charcuterie in the evening. OJ Cleanse for fresh juices. Bien Cuit for more coffee and croissants. Sahadi's or Trader Joe's for groceries on Atlantic. Countless fantastic restaurants on Court and Smith as well as Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene. Thanks Lucien!
