• Reviewer: Sharon

  Comments: This was the last leg of my very first trip to the US and my second airbnb experience. My first was in San Francisco the week before and unfortunately it was not great so I was a little disheartened and not sure what to expect. My sister was joining me for my time in New York (she flew in from Australia) and we arrived at Luke's all full of chatter and excitement and the pictures of the apartment were spot on. It is a great apartment, industrial in look and Lukes artwork and style make it a wonderful and funky place to stay....just what an Aussie imagines a New York apartment to look like. My sister and I were sharing the room and Luke gave us an option of putting a foldout bed (or cot as they call it in the US) in so we did not both have to share the queen size bed provided. We decided to go with this option on the second night and I ended up sleeping on the foldout for the whole trip as it was very comfortable. The location of Luke's apartment is amazing. It is close to everything and we found getting around quick and easy. 'Stone Street' is just around the corner and not only did it provide a huge range of eating options it also had a very cute look as the street is all cobblestones and in the right weather everyone eats outside. We even found ourselves an Aussie coffee shop in Broad Street which is just a 5 minute walk from the apartment and if you are an Aussie you will understand that this is a bonus as while New York is an awesome place the coffee is a little different to what we experience in Australia. As a host Luke is wonderful even racing out to buy us a hairdryer when he realised the one in his bathroom was missing. The linen, pillows and towels were all clean and of good quality which was very noticeable to me after my stay in San Francisco. Luke as a person is sweet, interesting and very easy to share an apartment with (which is important when you are renting a room) My sister and I were often very excited and very talkative and Luke took this all in his stride and we loved sharing our day with him in the evenings when we arrived home. Luke is intuitive and I think can judge just the amount of interaction his guests require. For my sister and I we felt comfortable with Luke pretty quickly and we now consider him a friend and he will always be an important part of a very special time for my sister and I. We had not seen each other for two years and this trip and the accommodation/location/host was a very big part of what made it so wonderful. Thank you Luke.....Thank you New York!

  Comments: All is great here!! My son and I had a fantastic stay and we felt very welcome. Apartment looks great (love the paintings!), bed sleeps super, location is perfect. A lot of nice little places to eat in the surroundings. Beautiful old houses mixed with new large officebuildings. Lively during the day but quiet at night. So no noise when you want to sleep. Metro is nearby. (thanks Aussie girls that we could use your spare days on the metro card!) Luke is a perfect host, with smooth communication and is a very nice guy!

  Comments: Luke was a wonderful host and became a friend over the two weeks in his apartment. He is an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. His apartment is incredibly well located in the heart of the financial district with subway lines all over. It's a chic contemporary and quirky apartment with wonderful artwork, spacious and clean. The room was really comfortable and Luke went out of his way to provide a small travel sleeper bed to accommodate for us both (especially as we got a little ill on our trip and having two beds was great!) - loved spending time there and it's equipped with Netflix, Amazon Echo and his quirky dog Baude who was a pleasure to be around in addition to the robotic hoover that cleans the place which was really cool. We really appreciate Luke making us feel like his own friends / family and being super accommodating - would highly recommend Luke and his place, it's a great experience and we'll be back again!

• Reviewer: Anish

  Comments: Awesome place, awesome host. I will definitely be staying here more often, whenever I can.

• Reviewer: Emma

  Comments: Lucas's place was perfect for my last-minute business trip. He was welcoming and social, but not intrusive. The place is a cool old industrial space divvied up into two bedrooms—lots of character, added by the building and by Lucas. I plan to return!

• Reviewer: Anish

  Comments: 2nd stay at Lucas' place. And I again had a great stay! Truly a gem of a host.

• Reviewer: Anish

  Comments: Amazing hosts! My second time here and nothing but great things to say.

• Reviewer: Loubna

  Comments: Your home away from home in NYC. Would recommend to friends and family in heartbeat. Lucas is a great host and his place is just Magic. The ultimate NYC experience.

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: I had an emergency trip come up and Lucas was fast and helpful. Great location. Cool place with an artsy feel. Just a great experience all around.

• Reviewer: Anita

  Comments: Luke's loft was great! Its in the heart of the financial district and close to several subway stations. Luke was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much!

• Reviewer: Agustin

  Comments: Really beautiful apartment, Lucas was friendly and help us with everything. The dog is not a problem, you will not see him. It is like rent the own apartment, he never stay there.

• Reviewer: Hailati

  Comments: My parents loved their staying at Lucas's place! The bedroom was a lot bigger than what's shown in the picture and the entire place was so clean and cozy. Location was very ideal too - heart of Wall Street, walking distance to restaurants, grocerie stores, and the river. Lucas was happy to let us use his kitchen and even his rice and eggs to cook!!! He's an amazing host and I'll definitely recommend this place!

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: Lucas is an excellent host and his place is very clean and comfortable. The room we stayed in was exactly as described - comfortable, creative and practical. The apartment is in an amazing spot - a great little corner tucked away south of Wall Street without traffic noise or fumes. There are two sets of fairly steep steps to reach the apartment but it's very secure and was no problem for us. We loved it and can't wait to stay there again!

• Reviewer: Francesco

  Comments: Lucas è stato molto disponibile sin dall'inizio quando a causa di una serie di inconvenienti siamo arrivati in ritardo all'orario prefissato per il check-in. L'appartamento si trova nel cuor del distretto finanziario comodissimo al ferryboat per la Statua della Libertà berta ed Ellis Island. Anche the New World Center non è molto lontano. 15 minuti a piedi.L'appartamento é molto carino e colorato. Consigliatissimo!!! Grazie Lucas

• Reviewer: Philip

  Comments: Lucas' place is in a great location in the financial district, right beside battery park and the statement island ferry port. The space itself is beautiful with his original art works everywhere. It's a Perfect spot to see New York, and Lucas himself is a gracious host who was happy to share his home. Also the Dubs beat Mayo in Croker and took home Sam so the weekend was some craic hai.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: MAGIC.... this place is not only perfectly located- super easy access to everything!... it is an honest-to-goodness, real artists loft, with ambiance galore. Lucas is an amazing, creative, patient, friendly host, that truly wants your experience to be a good one. The space is much bigger than the photos suggest and it has every amenity as well as Lucas' beautiful art everywhere. Steps away from the water and the ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty with loads of amazing New York bars and restaurants less than 3 minutes walk. You won't be disappointed. Awesome Airbnb..

• Reviewer: Sean

  Comments: Lucas was a great host and nothing more you can ask for. The location is great and the room was much better than expected.

• Reviewer: Lauren

  Comments: I chose Lucas' apartment as my base for a short stay in New York City for a number of reasons. Primarily location - I didn't want the noise/chaos of midtown, but wanted to be able to travel around the city with ease. The location was ideal for this. I also wanted a space which was a bit more interesting than the average hotel/Airbnb - the apartment did not let me down on this one - even though I didn't spend a huge amount of time there, the space had a huge amount of character from Lucas' art. The apartment was comfortable and Lucas was a very warm and friendly host. Lucas was able to accommodate awkward check in/check out times and communicative on any queries I had. Aside from everything else, the bed is super comfortable - perfect to get a good nights sleep after a full on day exploring the city.

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: As a woman traveling alone I was worried about feeling safe. I felt so safe from the moment I met Lucas. His place was clean, bed was comfy and it was a pleasure to come home to him every evening for some light chit chat. He was very respectful of privacy. I highly suggest renting from him. I know I will rent from him again.

• Reviewer: Brian

  Comments: Lucas and his place were great. Super easy communication. Fantastic location. Funky and comfortable space. Highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Lena

  Comments: Lucas' place is super stylish and cozy at the same time. It is perfectly located (close to different subways& ferry) in the financial district with shops, coffee places and sightseeings close by. Lucas and Bode are great hosts. We loved staying at the loft.

• Reviewer: Nhi

  Comments: Lucas is an awesome host! He is 100% responsive and makes special effort to be accommodating. I really enjoyed staying at his apartment and will definitely come back next time I am in NYC. I cannot thank him enough to make my very first Airbnb experience an awesome one!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: A stylish yet very comfortable apartment with a great host in a great location. I will happily rent again if my travels bring me to that area.

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Lucas was a great host, his apartment is really stylish and has a great location. It's a perfect spot to do some sightseeing, the metro lines going to midtown are around the corner, so it just takes about 20 minutes to get to the Times Square / Empire State Building etc. We really enjoyed staying there and would highly recommend it to others :)

• Reviewer: Meghan

  Comments: Lucas was such an incredible host! It’s the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in and he was so welcoming and friendly. There’s no better place to stay in New York and no better person to stay with!

• Reviewer: Alexandre

  Comments: Even if we didn't meet because of Thanksgiving period, Lucas was very kind, with lot of informations and messages for us to be sure that everything was good for us. And it was! The flat is beautiful, comfortable, near subways, the room quiet. A very pleasant place in FiDi in New York! We were very happy of this airbnb experience!

• Reviewer: Claire

• Reviewer: Roy

  Comments: Lucas is one of the best AirBnB hosts we could ask for. Hands down felt at home and he was super accommodating! Would not hesitate to stay here again!

• Reviewer: Michael

• Reviewer: Shankhri

  Comments: Lucas is a super accommodating host. His place is so lovely. Beautiful pieces of art and very well put together. It's a comfortable room and is filled with extra amenities. AWESOME airbnb :)

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: We honestly felt that Luke himself was one of the best parts of our NewYork trip. He offers the perfect blend of hosting : engaging enough to be helpful and honoring enough of your time as a guest w just the right balance. The apartment is comfy and artsy. It’s near several subway stops so you can have easy access to anywhere in the city. There are great coffee shops, bars and restaurants nearby. This was our second stay and we can’t wait for a third.

• Reviewer: Willians

  Comments: It was my 1st time using Airbnb and I've traveled alone. I have to say that staying at Lucas's place was a very good experience, actually beyond my expectations! His place is so cool, so unique, with a lot of canvas painted by himself and it is a smart home with Amazon's assistant Alexa. The subway is just 2 blocks away and neighborhood is safe and quiet.

• Reviewer: Anndrea

  Comments: The location is fabulous - you can see the water and its only a block to the subway. Much quieter at night than I expected as it is in the financial district, which also means that some of the restaurants are closed on Saturday night. Plenty still to choose from though. Luke's place is more spacious than what I expected for NYC, but keep in mind that the building is very old so will feel very different if you are used to newer midwest suburbian homes. Two flights of steep stairs to the apartment may be taxing with luggage or after a long day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Gregory

  Comments: Ne cherchez pas plus loin. La chambre que loue Lucas dans son magnifique loft d'artiste et l'endroit idéal pour passer des vacances inoubliables à New York. Les murs en brique sont décorés par d'innombrables toiles faites par lui-même, ce qui rend le lieu très coloré et chaleureux. Aussi, Lucas vous donne accès à toutes les pièces communes sans aucune restriction. A noter que l'endroit n'est pas trop bruyant. Lucas est une personne extrêmement chaleureuse et gentille. Il saura vous donner des conseils pour vos visites. Il est également très discret lorsqu'il est à la maison et vous fera presque oublier sa présence. L'appartement est situé à deux pas de Wall Street, du ferry pour la Statue de la Liberté, du site du World Trade Center et du Brookling Bridge. Midtown, Time Square et Central Park sont à environ 30 minutes en subway. Définitivement l'endroit où je serai pour mon prochain séjour à New York. Bref le top.

• Reviewer: Jannie

  Comments: Lucas's home is absolutely beautiful and filled with wonderful art and books. It's also in a fantastic location surrounded by delicious food and right by the water. Lucas is also extremely friendly and a wonderful host. I highly recommend staying here!

• Reviewer: Lucie

  Comments: I could never wish better place to stay in New York. Lucas is a great host and his apartment is adorable. Moreover it's close to the subway. You can find lots of places to eat and drink nearby. So if you want live as a stylish New Yorker, you definetly should choose this place!

• Reviewer: Raquel

  Comments: This is a must- stay! Fabulous place with lots to look at and amazing hospitality! Lucas makes his guests feel welcomed and taken care of. The area is central and was easy to come and go. Thanks Lucas!

• Reviewer: Jo

  Comments: Centrally located with easy access to subways and lots of nice bars around the apartment. Lucas is an amazing host and nothing is too much trouble. Lots of hints and tips which helped us during our stay. The apartment is very stylish and has a nice relaxed feel. We definitely recommend his place and even more so the coffee. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be staying again. X

• Reviewer: Chad

  Comments: Had a great time at Lucas' place. He's one of the friendliest, most accommodating hosts we've ever stayed with. Communication was excellent and check in was super smooth. We liked the location because almost all of the subways run down by Battery Park, so it's pretty easy to get almost anywhere with minimal transfers, especially downtown and midtown. The apartment itself is very spacious and has everything you need. Great place overall.

• Reviewer: Hyojin

• Reviewer: Hayley

  Comments: Luke’s apartment is BEAUTIFUL!!! It was such a dream for our first few nights on our big America’s trip!!! Luke is lovely and the place is super nice and tidy. Fans and aircon were left on for our arrival, which was amazing in the intense muggy heat!! Even though we didn’t cross paths much he is JUST LOVELY and bubbly and so friendly!! The apartment is in a really easy location to get to by a few different train lines if you want to be in lower Manhattan. Thank you so much! X

• Reviewer: Leo

• Reviewer: Julie

  Comments: Dear Lucas, We would like to thank you for our amazing stay at your beautiful loft, your hospitality and your warming welcome. It was our best experience with Airbnb!! We are definitely recommending your apartment to our friends if they come to New York! Take care! Greetings from Belgium, JJ

• Reviewer: Ema

  Comments: Lucas’ place is THE BEST!!! I’ve literally had an Instagram post dedicated to it with the following caption: ‘not sure what I liked better - NYC or this apartment’. Super stylish, super spacious and mega (!!!) clean apartment, morning coffee before you even open your eyes and cherry on top - all this in Lower Manhattan (just around the corner from Wall Street and Statue of Liberty. Can someone name me a better place to stay at in NYC??). Lucas is another one of New York’s gem - super friendly, super easy going and is just sooooo COOL. Stalk him on Instagram and (Hidden by Airbnb) if you don’t believe me!! And very down to Earth at the same time (despite all coolness and the amount of followers! Haha). Staying at Lucas’ place was literally the best Airbnb experience (and it definitely made our trip to New York!!) and I don’t think anyone will ever be able to match it. Highly recommend this place if you are looking where to stay when visiting NYC!! Lucas, we miss you and New York already, buddy!!!!! Thanks for everything! Hugs, Ema & Raminta.

• Reviewer: Shauna

  Comments: Perfectly located accommodation. Close to transit, great restaurants and many attractions. Extremely comfortable and welcoming environment.

• Reviewer: Rafael

  Comments: ¡Ubicación inmejorable, atención maravillosa! ¡Literalmente, te sientes como en tu casa! El lugar es espectacular. Lleno del arte de Lucas. Un típico loft bohemio de NY. Lucas está siempre atento a lo que se necesita. Es amable y dispuesto a ayudar en lo que se requiere. ¡100 % recomendado!

• Reviewer: Paige

  Comments: OK!!!! If you’re looking for the coolest spot with the best host in NYC literally look no further. Lucas in unbelievably accommodating and incredibly welcoming. I left feeling like family. He’s the coolest. The apartment is way cool too, from the original art, all the way down to the sheets (which smelled so nice and were super soft btw). There were plenty of towels and Lucas has everything you could need on your trip! :D

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: great location, also with some pubs nearby. and you can have glimpse on the east river from the working room.

• Reviewer: Rafael

  Comments: Sin considerar la excelente ubicación del lugar (ubicado a unos pasos de Wall St., del embarcadero hacia Staten Island, a unas calles del WTC, etc.), la estancia en el loft de Lucas, es sensacional. Él, es un anfitrión excepcional. Siempre pendiente de sus huéspedes. Muy amable y considerado. Te hará sentir bienvenido desde el primer momento. (Incluso, contra sus mismas políticas, que son bastante flexibles, tuvo la amabilidad de reembolsarnos una noche que perdimos por un problema en el aeropuerto). El espacio es, en realidad, una galería de arte, creada por él mismo, así que te sientes como en película. Si tienes la fortuna de encontrar disponible el espacio, no dudes en reservarlo. ¡No te arrepentirás!

• Reviewer: Kali

  Comments: Luke was amazing and so accommodating! Great space, great host!!

• Reviewer: Lorena

  Comments: Lucas was really nice and friendly. We loved his flat and we will definitgely will stay there again. He answered our doubts really fast and his flat was amazing. He left everything written and he was almost never at home, so you feel that the flat is just for you. It has an amazing location.

• Reviewer: Dyannah

  Comments: I had a wonderful stay with Lucas while I was in town to run the New York City marathon, and I would highly recommend his place to anyone running or visiting the city (a quick walk from the ferry!). His apartment is beautiful, I loved being surrounded by his artwork, plus our bedroom was spacious and comfortable. He was a generous and welcoming host!

• Reviewer: Jacs

  Comments: Lovely tranquil space despite being in downtown Manhattan. He’s a considerate host, easy to share his home with him without feeling that you’re imposing.

• Reviewer: Lyall

  Comments: Lucas’s apartment was awesome for the authentic, NYC local experience. It was a cool spot, well lived in but really quiet and comfy for a good nights sleep. We found everything well kitted out for our needs as a couple. There’s not a whole lot to do in the immediate vicinity but we were out and about most of the time. The host though...wow!!! This guys is one of the friendliest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and his willingness to help, share stories and chatter with a big smile on his face made our trip!!

• Reviewer: Pablo

  Comments: Hi, Everyone!!! I do recommend Lukas' Appartment. Eveything is as the pictures show!!! The neibourhood is quite calm during the nights, so resting is great after a long day walking and sightseeing!!! And it's greatly connected with everythig. There are 3 subways lines in the nearby so you'll be able to go wherever you want in minutes. Lukas is a great Host; we lived with him for 20 days and He always was very friendly and there for us for whatever we asked or needed.

• Reviewer: Natalie

• Reviewer: Vee

  Comments: Lucas was a fantastic host. His space was spacious, welcoming, warm, and so close to everything! You’re right next to a poke place and other restaurants and food/drink options, as well as transportation. Although the apartment is on a busy street, it’s quiet. Lucas is also super nice and accommodating. He was flexible with my check in and very communicative. I’d definitely stay again and highly recommend his space!!

• Reviewer: Jennie

  Comments: Lucas’s home is wonderful. The location is fantastic, convenient, & so stylish. It’s spotless- absolutely spotless- I went home and had to dust out of guilt. The neighborhood is quiet at night, right off the water, and the building has a cluster of great restaurants below-all centered around an adorable square. The very best thing about the place is Lucas himself- he’s got wonderful energy, is fabulously creative, and makes you feel completely at ease. Lucas’s home will be my first choice next time I am in NY- it should be yours too.
