Check-out time: 11am, but we can leave our bags until late afternoon. Quite economical, the cost of renting a locker on the MRT station, the kitchen equipment is quite complete, can be used at any time. Originally washed again (for eating utensils). 2 minutes from Jong MRT No. 5 no and very close to Kwangjang Market.

Very near to the train, the owner of the accommodation is nice. The accommodation is on the left side of the observation road. Exit the station, walk straight to the accommodation on the first alley, at the drugstore. Turning around in the alley, there are many restaurants. There is a separate alley there. Turn left and you will see the luggage. But the small room is worth the price At night, be careful in the alley. But overall okay (Found a cockroach, but the owner helped to get rid of it well)
