This was my first time staying at Kim's. I was here for a week and had a very good experience. The room and home were as described. While the room is outside a busy street, the noise was minimal (like waves on a beach strangely enough), and a small fan could be used to drown it out if needed. It wasn't an issue for me at all.
I arrived after midnight and was worried about that but the instructions for the lock and code were simple and easy. Kim was communicative and everything was a breeze the first night.
As has been shared by others, Kim is a warm and friendly host. She made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. I even got an unexpected hula hoop lesson - she's really talented - and thought that was very nice and generous of her.
I would stay again and recommend to others. Thanks Kim!
