I stayed here for 9 days while working in the area. Tao and his wife are happy people and very friendly. The room that I rented is in a home that is close to their home and they stopped by daily to make sure the common areas (kitchen and a shared bathroom) stayed spotlessly clean. There were a few snacks and breakfast cereals in the home and a modest supply of kitchenware that I took full advantage of to prepare meals.

The neighborhood is quite close to a park where I enjoyed a long hike that Tao recommended.

The home is a modest size with the front room converted to a 4th bedroom. This meant the only place to relax outside of your room is a covered backyard patio off the kitchen/dining area. This limited interaction with other guests at the home.

I would certainly recommend this home for the budget conscious traveler who is working away from home!
