We have booked 2 rooms for 8 people. The room is spacious enough to accommodate 4 people per room. There is a small kitchenette with a washing machine. The whole entire room is clean and tidy. The location is very convenient. The train station is just 100m from the accommodation. Kim (the owner) is very friendly and helpful. He responded to the text message within 5 minutes.
