Jie's place is a great place to stay, with Woolies (supermarket) almost opposite the house and the train station a 5-minute walk away.
The area has enough restaurants should you need them, although a standard ATM (i.e. one that doesn't charge) is a little bit further away.
Everything is clean, and the room I stayed in (the largest one) was perfect for me as I work from home and it had a separate lounge area with a desk looking onto the road.
The kitchen is well equipped, and the wi-fi was generally excellent (and I do a lot of video meetings)
The only real negative is that getting back to this area late at night (after midnight) by public transport is slightly difficult, this is because there are not many night buses coming to this area.....otherwise transport into the city is about 20-30 minutes during the day.
Jie was also always quick to respond to questions and helpful.....big thumbs up!
