Lucas was great. From the moment we arrived to the second we left Lucas made us feel welcomed like old friends. Upon arrival Lucas had cold lemonade and directions to the city prepared for us. The apartment was great. It is in a old building from the 1880's with a partial view of the East River. The apartment has been renovated and the interior design is top notch. Very hip and very comfortable. Lucas is an artist and his art work hangs everywhere in the apartment. With the bold colors and energetic themes, the apartment comes alive with the energy from the paintings. I really liked the neighborhood. It is close to a lot of sights but not so busy that you can't relax.
