This is a perfect spot for any medical student looking for a place to live near SIUH. The hospital is about 7-8 minutes away by car. (About 20 minutes walking). Linda is an amazing host. She is very attentive and easy to contact. She often would offer me dinner with her family and many snacks! Her children are cute and well behaved. They don't make much noise aside from sometimes practicing piano. (They play well so I've enjoyed the music) I never worried about privacy. Linda provides a key to lock the bedroom door when you are out during the day. The room is clean with a king size bed. There is a mini fridge stocked with water and sodas. Small desk and lamp for reading. There are towels for bathing. Linda has central air and is very open to changing the temperature for guests but I didn't have a problem with being too hot or too cold. Overall this was a wonderful experience and would return to Linda & her family in the future! She also lives close to the beach and many parks if you want to relax outside or exercise.
