It's a great locating in a quiet street. The guesthouse itself is so warm and cozy, and the ability to have a private bathroom in a traditionally laid out inn was great.

The room was quite big and I loved having a balcony. It was very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed having a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and stove. And even a washing machine.

From

Australia

The beds were furnished with a mirror, shelves, clothing rack and a foldable table. These were very useful. The bathroom is also connected with the bedroom (which is different to a lot of other dorm style accommodation I've been to that have a bathroom shared among all people) so it was easily accessible and only the people in the dorm could access it. The free washing machine was also a bonus. Everything was also very clean. Jun-san was also super helpful and always readily available if you had any questions!
