Location is strategy
빈스가 너무좋아요 I like vince 또한 잠자리도 좋고요 시원하고 앞에 거리들이 멋있네요
its a good place to stay
Excellent location for food and shopping. Many wild birds around but sorry if you don‘t like them, but can make you closer to nature without going to a wild place.
It was kinda tough to figure out where the place was given the small sign and hardly noticeable numbers due to the color choice. But after going up about 4 flights of stairs, comes this cozy little spot in the heart of the city. Air conditioner works fine and the food offered was alright. Just don't ...
Cannot check in cause the hotel are already full after comform booked!
Very good hostel with excellent and thoughtful amenities.
