For a first-timer of booking in a hostel, the experience was quite liberating. The owner, Coco, speaks well in English and is very accommodating and generous with essential kinds of stuff. I love the fact that most of her staff members were students and can communicate well in English, and her cat, Gatsby, is so cute I would love to get mine as well even if I am not a cat-lady. The location is mostly at the center of their famous tourist spots, which you can easily walk into. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt safe as well. Highly recommended for female travelers and for those in a budget.
