My family stayed in Prorizna apartment while spending a couple of days touring Kiev in 2012. It was a very economical choice compared to expensive Kiev hotels. Moreover they provided free parking right next to the building so I had no issues to park my minivan. The apartment was immaculate, comfortable, a short walk to great restaurants, and a 5 minute walk to Maidan - central square of Kiev. The metro is close, but we opted for cabs which are about $5 to $10 to any tourist place including museums and shopping malls. There is a little street noise early in the morning, but you kind of expect that being in the center of a big city. Otherwise, we would surely stay here again.
