Pros: Big, clean house with comfortable beds, surrounded by a beautiful garden in a quiet, residential area.
Cons: Host’s mood can range from friendly to condescending, erratic, loud behaviour.
According to the printed house rules hanging on the walls, the kitchen is open until 11pm, but cooking in general is not allowed by host because of the smell (boiling water is ok, but only until 7pm). After that, host comes out to check up on what people are doing, and if the gas stove get’s switched on, he starts to be inpatient, shouting around & complaining about it.
Strangely enough, the house smells of cigarette smoke, which in turn seems to be ok with him, which is one of many double standards he seems to run the place by. Furthermore, he speaks very little English, which causes further misunderstandings.
So if you’re looking for an easy-going place with a positive vibe & international people (other than Korean) where you can relax in the evening, have a laugh, feel at home and cook a healthy meal (that doesn’t include a rice cooker or microwave), I highly recommend staying elsewhere.
