Positive: Linda was very attentive and helped us with everything we needed. We had to stay one extra day, and we were able to arrange it very easily and quickly. The accommodation was very good—better than a hotel for me, because you get to experience a bit of Korean life hehe. Very happy with everything
Negative: Nothing but in the future could have a small tv but for me it was great because we have a laptop.
Summary: I'll come back ;)
