The location is good and close to Hongjik shopping area. Host Ms Sunny is friendly but not always in the house so self service is a must. Very nice to have power adapter for foreigners. Love the kitchen and utensils available for easy meals. The keylock instruction pictures not exactly match the real one installed, so you need to know how to open the cover before you can key in the pin. Laundry service is available by telling Sunny and there is a charge, which is ok.

room was smaller and stuffier than expected. uneven carpeting was pretty bad look. bathroom situation was not clear (e.g., no separation of toilet and shower). was barely in my room besides sleeping for two nights and still got bug bites or allergic reactions. no staff was ever seen onsite. little support. no elevator - not heavy luggage friendly.

I chose this place because the pictures looked great and the location was really convenient. The room was clean but the mold smell was really extrem. I only stayed one night and even in that short time the smell got really overwhelming.
