Xiong's place was great. I felt very safe around the neighborhood. His apartment was very clean and has a very large (luxurious) bathroom. I didn't see Xiong, but his neighbor friend Reina took care of everything. She is a very sweet, wonderful lady. His place was surprisingly easy to find, about 30 mins bus (#33) ride from Central Station, no transfer, and then 3 mins walk from the bus stop, and buses come about every 10 mins and they are on-time, amazing.
