3 days trip with my toddler

The place is comfy and clean. Perfect for you if you are bringing elders or babies in your trip. David is a very nice person and he always speedily give a hand when you need help. A very nice choice for you to spend a holiday with your family where it's the centre of Hongik, shopping and dinning everything you needed is all around. Even it's conveniently on subway line 2, no need to change from the airport.

地理位置好，交通便利，就在2号线2号出口3分钟左右，老板很Nancy，房间里的配备也很齐全，我们每天都有洗衣服， 唯一不好的地方就是房间的整洁度不是太满意，第1天去的时候洗手间有很大的一阵尿味，还是老公自己用花洒冲洗干净了才好些的

地點位於弘大2號出口三星專賣店旁，因為沒有櫃檯，房主會事先使用通訊軟體（Line ）告知如何抵達地點，我們到時房主已經在一樓等待我們，房主很熱情，有事都可以用Line 直接聯絡，房間裡有餐桌、小廚房還有轉接頭延長線!廁所還有洗衣機(附洗衣粉)玄關設有小晒衣場，整個就是方便，另外還可以請房主代叫外賣炸雞!非常棒!

我個人覺得這家民宿有以下優缺點，給需要的你參考、参考 1）地理位置很方便，右邊地鐵站，左邊是旅行團集合位置，若參加local tour，集合點就在左邊，對面就是弘大行逛點。 2）民宿David很好，他會在你到達前與客戶聯絡，告訴你如何去民宿和放行李地方，但他只會說英語，與我聯絡是用Line。 3）民宿望上去算整齊整潔，可以接受範圍內，但住宿期間，只是倒垃圾和換毛巾，其它没有清潔過，被單會有污漬，不知道是洗不掉的，還是什麼啦～

屋主人雖然很好，地點也很方便。 但清潔到一般，女兒4晚也氣管敏感， 而且房間十分熱， 空調無論調校到那個溫度， 也只能保持在28-29度左右。 要開風扇才能入睡。

There were pros and cons...

The location of this hostel is very good as it is located just next to the Hongdae station. I stayed a room for three person. The staff was nice and very kind, Basic stuff were prepared, such as shampoo, body wash, and hair drier. It also has a refrigerator, washer, and kitchen. Generally, it is not uncomfortable to stay. However, cleaning condition was not good. There were particular smell like dirty linen although there were no stain in linen. Also, the room air was not good, I cannot find any ventilator. In conclusion, generally good hostel if you don't mind the extraordinary cleaning condition.

附近有同類型的房間狀況比這間為佳。

跟訂房時所看的照片（照片所示可住5人），故此支付較高租金也不介意；而當時資料顯示，所訂的是最後一間房，所以不明白為何入住的不是相片所示的房間，而當時預訂時亦沒有「入住房間可能與圖片不一樣」等字句。 浴室的毛巾理論上是新換上的吧...唯發現有毛髮。"=.=
