I didn't get to meet Linh until the end of my stay (due to work schedule, etc.) but his sister was welcoming and Linh has always been wonderfully responsive before and throughout my stay. (He even had reached out to ensure things were going well for me and if I needed any additional help.) His cat is adorable, and was a polite but rather curious "host" and inspected our room a few times to make sure things were in order. ;) Linh's home is around a 20 minute commute to the city center, but the transportation comes fairly regularly and the neighborhood is peaceful. Overall would recommend because it is reasonably priced and I enjoyed my experience---thanks Linh!
