How to map a mounted VMWare folder in Linux?

I have installed linux and configured the guest OS to see a particular folder from host.

As I already installed VMWare tools on the guest OS, I should see on /mnt/hgfs the different folders from host OS. I would prefer for simplicity's sake see this folder in my home directory. To perform it:

ln -s <path-to-hgfs-folder> <name-of-mount-point>
