There are pros and cons of living at VA's place:
1. Pros - Unique experience of living in an art studio with animals including dogs and doves; impressive goodies in the room (fruit, instant noodles, water, and a lot of surprising items!); friendly host who can chat about a variety of topics; and a feeling of community; convenient location; affordable and reasonable pricing; quiet neighborhood
2. Cons - No door lock for the bedroom; level of efforts to remember and follow house rules (close the door immediately right after opening so the doves will not fly out; clean out the hair in the bathtub so the pipe will not be clogged; keep the bathroom door open while the toilet top closed; keep the personal items like brush and tooth paste inside the bathroom closet; hang the towel at a specific location as the bathroom is shared with other tenants; place the trash outside of the door at the daily basis)
Overall we like VA. It is like living in your parents' home: cozy with rules to follow.
