I had no interaction with Huang himself which was fine as I didn't need anything and the booking process was smooth and organised.

The house is in a convenient location, within easy walking distance of Castro St, the Caltrain, and Stevens Creek Trail.

It's a functional place, everything works, it was clean, well stocked with towels, and the kitchen seemed to have everything though I didn't need to use it. The furniture is a bit studenty, but it does the job and is as pictured in the listing. The Roku smart TV was good, and the wifi worked well.

However the place has an unfriendly institutional feel thanks to the many large printed notices taped up on otherwise bare walls (not in the listing photos). From the ones that state the obvious like "Front Door" and "Thermostat: turns the heat on/off", to the passive aggressive "75% of guests re-use their towels" in the bathroom. In particular having a clock in the main room and another one in the bedroom, both with a large notice directly underneath saying "PLEASE BE OUT OF THE UNIT BY 11AM ON THE LAST DAY OF YOUR STAY" isn't exactly welcoming. At least they weren't in Comic Sans I suppose!
