Kim's place is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, approx 45minutes away from Midtown Manhattan. And there are three subways (J, M and L) at a 10 min walk. The room was nice and sunny, the kitchen was nice (but we didnt use it though).
Kim was there on our arrival and then we didnt see her much during our two weeks stay. She definitely gives you privacy. If you wish to walk all day and just come back to sleep this may be the right place for you, but if you want to get to know the host and maybe share dinner or talk, I wouldn't recommend it.
Pros: the price is very good, the room is sunny and was well heated in a very cold spring stay. It has a firescape stair for smokers.
Contras: it is located at almost an hour from Manhattan. And the bathroom was not clean at all... plus if you are staying for two weeks (like we did) the bed starts to be uncomfortable (perfect for a shorter stay though)
