Though there's a bus stop and convenience store nearby, the property itself is located in a quiet area, especially at night. It was quite tricky to find the property as it's located inside an alleyway. I stayed in an 8-person bedroom with a sharing bathroom, and it was quite clean and tidy. The whole property had controlled heating system which was really nice.

Located at Sansu Intersection, it is far from Geumnam-ro and Chungjang-ro, which are downtown, but is easily reached by bus and is close to Mt. Mudeung, which is nice.
