I stayed here for just under 4 weeks while undertaking a placement at the hospital nearby. I found YuYu's parents to both be lovely and welcoming, YuYu's father in particular making a huge effort to communicate despite language barrier. In terms of noise, there was a bit from the room next door. The walls are very thin and sound carries - so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. It didn't really bother me too much and I expected some noise due to them having 4 other boarders. What was nice is no really got up super early in the morning and made a heap of noise, so I was able to sleep well after a night shift. In terms of the kitchen, it's small - not really much of a bother though unless you need to cook at time when others are using the kitchen, so it can get a bit tight. Washing machine and hanging space undercover is nice and adequate.
