Kim has a lovely apartment with comfortable seating and a large screen TV. The building is newly constructed which is very nice. Excellent central air which was very welcome during the heat wave. She could use more dishes, cutlery, and glasses. Her place is literally a three-minute walk to the elevated train which is great! Plus, you don't hear any of the noise! The immediate neighbourhood is up and coming but everyone was friendly. We felt safe. Parking was never an issue. Friday and Saturday nights were noisy. Lots of music. I enjoyed it. I don't know that I would enjoy that everyday but it was nice while on vacation. It was very celebratory. Reggae on Friday and Mexican folk music (I think) on Saturday. Lots of fun! We walked, used the transit system and Uber. There's a corner convenience store but you'll need to travel for more groceries. We had a great time in Brooklyn and would definitely stay at Kim's place again.
