Lin's house is definitely a great value spot. No frills whatsoever, but a bed to sleep on and a desk to use with a private bathroom and most importantly private parking in a busy downtown neighborhood. Lin was very nice and very quick to respond to any questions or comments I had. Only minor issue I had was not being in control of the temperature in my room. I was in Toronto to check out a band and when I arrived home from the concert it was very cold in the room. It was almost midnight so I didn't feel comfortable writing Lin and in the morning the heat had been turned up so maybe it was just an oversight.
Also a note, not necessarily a bad thing, that the room I stayed in is right off the kitchen which is a heavily trafficked space in the house. During school days I would expect common family noise from about 7:30am on.
Overall the stay was pleasant and for the price I would definitely stay there again!
