Staying at Kimyon's place was perfect for our long weekend in NYC. He was flexible and worked with us to allow us to drop off our things before check-in, so we could enjoy the city luggage-free. The art in his apartment is stunning. The neighborhood is hip, equipped with coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Actually, right next door to Kimyon's place was a nice bar with good (and relatively inexpensive) food. The apartment is right next to the subway line and it was super convenient to get to Manhattan - only about 20-25 minutes. Despite his apartment being in the thick of it all, and right next to the subway line, you can't hear a peep from the bedroom. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to experience a less touristy area of Brooklyn/NYC! Thanks, Kimyon!
