Staying with Tao and his family was perfect for my situation. My friend and I needed a place to sleep for the night after a wedding and this was so affordable and clean in a small quiet neighborhood. The big room was homey and quiet. Reminded me of staying with a relative. I didn't get to meet the rest of Tao's family or his Siberian husky pet. But they look like a wonderful quiet family, and this is a perfect affordable stop over if you are a student or when you are on a budget. :) I would definitely stay again!
