Tao's place is a cute duplex home with most of the amenities needed to feel at home. The bed was clean and presentable, fresh bathroom and toiletries, everything was neat and in its place like you'd expect at a hotel. As others have mentioned, the neighborhood isn't necessarily as welcoming at first, but the house is surrounded by walls, which made it feel more private and safer. It wasn't noisy and while I could hear planes faintly flying over once in a while, it was hardly noticeable. The washer and drier is outside (next door), which could be an annoyance. Overall, if you're looking for a good value cozy 1BR with charm, this place is perfect.
