Luong is a very nice and communicative host. He tried hard to make our stay comfortable and to make us happy. The apartment is ground floor and looks like the pictures. Fridge is small, but the kitchen is well enough equipped to cook simple meals. It is a 10 minute drive on side streets to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, etc.
For me, the biggest issue was that the walls are thin. The neighbor's TV was on from 5:30 AM until midnight every single day. I'm sure they thought they had it at a reasonable volume (and Luong did ask them to keep it down), but I had to keep fans and white noise sounds on all day so that the constant TV noise did not drive me crazy. If this kind of noise doesn't bother you, the apartment is fine. But I need a place with better sound proofing.
