The host and others in the house speak little or no English, so that would be a problem for anybody who doesn't speak Chinese and needs to interact with the host. The room was adequate and sparse. The sheets and pillows are very nice. There was hot water for showering, and clean towels. Cleanliness was very good in general. The walls are a bit thin and sound carries through them, but the host and others were very quiet, so it was not an issue. But guests making noise would give up privacy, if you know what I mean. There are a lot of Asian restaurants and stores in the area. A main bus line is a block away, and it is easy to use the bus. The house has air conditioning which I believe is controlled by the host turning it on when needed (but I am not sure). There is a TV room and kitchen downstairs, but I never used them and I don't know if that would be acceptable. The clothes washer and dryer appear to be available, but you might have to ask (?). The value and convenience and location was very good for me.
