First, Min is a great host. My 10:30PM flight was late and he stayed up until my arrival at 2AM to show me the ropes! He's honest, funny, interacts with his guests (food and karaoke), and does a really great job maintaining the place. It always felt very clean and he was always available on WhatsApp.

As for the room, just know what you're getting in to. On the 6th floor, you may be sleeping in the same room as 4 or 5 other people. Keep it in mind if you are a light sleeper. However, Min assuaged my concerns, and sure enough, this was one of the best parts of the experience. If you feel hesitant like I did, but could see yourself trying it out, I would honestly urge you to err on the side of adventure because stepping out of my comfort zone paid off in a big way. If you just can't see it happening, check out the rooms on the other floors, which looked like private rooms or two person pairings.

Outside the room, the 9th floor works as a great common area. More than once, after a long day but not yet ready to turn in, I shuffled onto the 9th floor to rally a group to go out. These turned into some of the most memorable nights of the trip. Do it!

Finally, as for the location, it's very convenient and easy to learn. A short walk will get you onto any subway line you will need. If you'd rather not deal with the subway, there's an area called 'Golden Gai' that has like, 300 bars in a concentrated area and is only a 10 min walk away.

All in all, I had a great 10-day stay at Min's hostel and would do it all over again! Thanks again, man.
