Nie znajdziesz lepszego mieszkania i właściciela niż to tutaj. Uwierz mi na słowo
Pros:

Gdybym mogła wyjść poza skalę to na pewno to ogłoszenie by wygrało.
Pokój w bardzo dobrej lokalizacji. Obok mieszkania znajdują się sklepy, 3 przystanki w tym jeden minutę od mieszkania. Dużo miejsc do odpoczynku, muzea do zwiedzania.
Pokój w mieszkaniu z właścicielami, którzy od samego początku pomagają. Z siostrą nie rozumiałyśmy na początku działania karty T-money i tu przyszedł nasz rycerz. Podpowiedział jak potrafił, narysował mapkę jak dostać się bezpiecznie i szybko do mieszkania.
Mieszkanie samo w sobie jest cudowne. Wspólna kuchnia z darmowymi przekąskami, maszyną do wody, więc nie trzeba wydawać milionów na kupowanie butelkowanej.
Pokój jest duży, do użytku 2 duże szafy, ogromne łóżko, rzutnik, klimatyzacja, toaletka, lodówka. Czego można chcieć więcej?
Właściciele są mega pomocni, a przy dobrych wiatrach załapiesz się jeszcze na dobre jedzonko w fantastycznym towarzystwie Merkurego, który zna każdego i wie wszystko co jest potrzebne.
Jako lokals zna fajne miejscówki, których turyści nie wiedzą. Na sam koniec podwiózł nas na lotnisko, co było mega pomocne przy milionie bagażu, który miałyśmy

Lion's home is more than accommodation, it's a unique cultural experience!
Pros:

The hosts are out-going, open-minded and kind people who respect your privacy. There's free snacks and instant ramens in the kitchen. The bedroom was very cozy and tidy with a projector and an active Netflix subscription.

And special thanks go to the man of the house, Mr. Mercury, who on the 1st day - when it was too early for us to check in - showed us around the neighborhood, gave some advice on getting around the city and took us to a local Korean cafe where we had breakfast together, it was an amazing start of the trip!

Cons:

It's no disadvantage per say, but just keep in mind that the way up to the house is quite steep.

Cosy stay with friendly hosts in residential neighbourhood close to waterfall
Pros:

The hosts are super friendly and helpful. The apartment is very cosy, and the room has a curtained-off bathroom, so it's like having a private ensuite. The apartment is on the top floor of a two-storey freestanding building, with no shared walls on the sides or above — very quiet. The neighborhood is residential and cute, with a river and waterfall nearby. I felt safe, well-rested, and truly grateful they opened such a lovely space for travelers. I would’ve stayed longer if it wasn’t already booked!

Cons:

There’s honestly nothing I didn’t like about this place. It might be helpful to have shoes with good grip going up the hill in wet weather. I didn’t experience this myself, so I can’t be sure. It’s definitely not a reason to miss out on booking this place!

Superb
Pros:

Great hospitality from home owner. I got some great medicines from them for free when i was down with slight cold during our stay there. Room is comfortable, free food also provided and they offer laundry for you if needed

Cons:

Steep hill incline towards the home requires one to have strong calf & thigh muscles on every ascent and descent
