Linlin's place is very homey and affordable in a very convenient neighborhood. My parents stayed for the very last few days before they went back to China and they enjoyed staying with Steve while Linlin is travelling. Steve is very helpful and patient in explaining everything to my parents. My parents had a great time talking to Steve about his experience living in China. Also, the neighborhood is very safe to walk around and there are lots of Chinese restaurants and supermarkets nearby. I highly recommended this place to someone staying around the Valley area.
