I have already entered it on Agoda, but I would also like to add it to Google Reviews so more people can see it. These are my impressions from my visit in January 2023. It is located not far from Dengachaya station. It's really very beautiful. It has two floors and has four double beds. What I like most is the manager's reception attitude. I had so many questions, and they always answered them in English on the same day. The author is Korean, but he also provided a Korean map of how to get from the station to the hotel. The area near the inn has a quiet atmosphere, and if you walk a little you can see the downtown area and a small shrine. it's recommended.

Aya is an excellent super host, she responded to all our queries and accommodated us with a full guide to finding the location. Our stay was an excellent location near by convenient stores and the subways, made it easy and accessible to go to all the right places. Our accommodation was nice and clean, in a quiet neighborhood, easy to find location. Beds were soft like laying in the clouds. Our host accommodated us with a great guide to all the appliances around, there is a washer and a dryer that made it so convenient without the drying racks and laundry baskets needed. Basic toiletries were offered with soaps, toothbrushes, and amazing body-wash, shampoo and conditioner. The shower heating system was excellent and easy to use- the kitchen comes fully equipped with a toaster, a microwave, a refrigerator and a coffee maker. Water is papable in the area and a electric kettle is available . We had an excellent stay -it made us feel right at home. definitely will recommend this place and comeback and visit.

Everything was exactly as described in the listing. It was clean, beds were comfortable, and all appliances worked as they should. Check in and check out went smoothly. We traveled with a total of four adults and four children, and it was a comfortable fit for everyone for a week.
