We spend a couple of nights at Joel's and Hua's house with my family. The house was perfect for our needs: we spent most of the day out and the area is really quiet so it's nice to come back to if you're not planning on spending your nights out. There are shops and restaurants nearby and the place is well connected. The house is big and so it can host many people at the same time which may give it a bit of a "hostelish" feeling.
