My girlfriend and I stayed here for about 2 months this summer while doing internships/research in the city. Ding is a very friendly and helpful host, and also always down for an interesting conversation. The room and house are quite comfortable, with a well stocked kitchen and nice living room. The neighborhood is quite safe, quiet, and close to many good restaurants and grocery stores. It's a very convenient commute downtown, or to other neighborhoods, with several bus lines stopping nearby.
We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place!
