Kian was a great host. I didn't see him very often, but when I did he was very personable and my comfort and the overall quality of my stay was a top priority.
His home is located it a laid back part of Bedstuy, Brooklyn. Anyone who has heard a Jay Z song may feel alarmed, but the area is very safe. I'd return from work or an industry event after midnight and feel entirely safe. His place is also very close to the G train which connects to several major NYC lines (A/C/L/7/F to name a few) so getting to neighboring boroughs is pretty easy.
Last, the apartment is very clean, has modern finishes, and is overall a good option. I highly recommend staying here.
