Blog: Why I Just Booked a B&B in Kyiv

I have booked a bed-and-breakfast (B&B) in Kyiv for six days through March 13. I chose six because it’s an auspicious number in Chinese, and I hope everything will go well over there.

What I was hoping to find was a genuine family-run place, one that locals use to make ends meet, or even a single room in a residential bloc, as long as it is clean and bright.

My ideal landlord was a couple with children.
