  住宿地點就在弘大捷運站附近，地段超級方便的，很多弘大的名店都在附近，環境也很舒服，每個房間跟客廳都有暖氣跟地面暖氣，冬天住很舒服，有三間浴室(其中一間沒有馬桶只能洗澡)，也有提供3~4個吹風機讓大家使用。
  
  唯一缺點是要爬四層樓，如果是要帶長輩住的話可能要考慮一下，check in時如果有提早跟屋主連絡的話，他們也會來幫忙拿行李箱，非常友善，下次如果還是很多人要去首爾的話會考慮再住這裡！

  因为经常来弘大旅行，所以民宿经验很丰富。
  与其他民宿相比，这家装修像展厅一样奢华、干净。 晚上在屋顶和朋友们一起坐在桌子旁，看着弘大夜景，度过了非常浪漫的夜晚。
  另外，这里位置离弘大站很近，交通很方便，
  这次住宿定得比较急，房东很热心，回复得很快，所以预约很方便。
  更重要的是，女生住很安全，下次会带我们全家一起来旅行。
  非常感谢！
