It's in a bit of a corner so I got lost, but it's spacious and nice. Since it was on the first floor, it was easy to carry groceries and luggage.Also, it was December so it was quite cold, but I turned on the heating a little and it actually got hot. I didn't even raise the temperature. The interior has been remodeled and is well insulated and clean. The bedding is clean, so it looks good even for people who can't sleep outside. What's unfortunate is that it's on the first floor of the villa and there's a house next door, so I can't make a fuss about it. I had a party to celebrate the end of the year, but I held back for fear of making the house cry. Because it’s a residential area ㅠㅠ.Also, the toilet wasn't that great. The toilet in the living room has weak water pressure, so the water doesn't flush properly, and it takes a very long time for the tank to fill with water. I think I turned off the water. The shower head in the bathroom in the room was not adjustable.Other than these two things, there are a lot of pots and cups and the interior facilities are clean, so I plan to use it again next time.
