Reviews

• Montesclaros from Philippines (9/10)

  The host availability to communicate, the flexibility, the access to transportation were all great. The home is cozy, complete with all amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

• Frebeleen from United Kingdom (9/10)

  It’s on the ground floor and very close to the bus stop and convenience store.

• Iaroslav from Romania (9/10)

  The best thing about the place is probably its location – an older part of the city center, in a renovated neighbourhood, full of coffee-shops and places to eat. Also it is very close to a bus stop, from which a 09 bus departs every 10 minutes from early morning till 23:30.
  
  The apartment has lots of utensils and kitchenware, you can also cook there. There is also a foldable table in the sleeping room. Also make use of anti-mosquito gadgets (there are 2, one in each room). It really helps!
  
  The host is very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Mee-Soo!

• Michael from United States (9/10)

  The location near the mountain is perfect if you enjoy walking and hiking.The place was very clean and the host was very helpful, even kindly calling a taxi for us when we checked out. Nice kitchen amenities and plenty of artsy boutique shops and cafes in the neighborhood. It's not a far walk from the main palace. Note, the big bed has a warmer that can be unplugged (we didn't realize this until the last night we were there and it was quite warm).
