Decent stay with some extras
PROS: good size room and bed, fairly comfortable bed (might be considered firm by some). Large window to provide good natural light. Close walk to public transportation. Has small kitchen and washer/dryer. Tea kettle with tea and instant coffee. Good sized bathroom. CONS: lamps wouldn’t turn off, so had to unplug them. No laundry soap with washer, so need to bring your own. Also, instructions only in Korean. Instant coffee was horrible. Bathroom door didn't close all the wall. 8.5/10
