Lina's place is not modern at all, but it's warm and homey. Even though I stayed at the basement, the noise level is quite low, since the first floor isn't being used often, and no one makes loud noises. Lina is friendly and nice to chat with. The house is about 13-15 mins from the nearest subway station, might not be ideal for some people in the winter/snow, but I was fine. If you need to do laundry, be mindful that there's laundry machine, but no dryer. Lina can help you with the air dry. Parking is easy if you have a car.
