Nice and Cozy Homestay
Pros:

Had booked this property based on a recommendation of a friend. Location of the property was just across the road to the Old Town. Room is very spacious and the best is that the toilet is heated up so it doesn't feel so cold after the shower.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything is good.

Love it
Pros:

Everything was as I expected. Location, hotel environment, personnel, vicinity to old town, easy access to food and cafes. It’s only about 25m walking distance to old town, it’s quiet and calm

Cons:

Nothing really. If I were to be picky I’ll say it’ll be nice if the toilet bowl seat is heated

Pros:

위치가 좋았습니다. 아름다운 옛도시의 객잔으로 여행의 기분을 만끽하게 해주는 분위기이다. 특히 Toxana는 영어가 능숙하고 정성을 다해 여행을 프로그램을 준비해주어 감사했습니다.

Cons:

현대적 도시 고급 호텔에만 익숙한 사람은 시설이 조금 떨어진다고 생각할 수도...
