"Good place to stay in and very affordable! The lady that works here is very nice. People aren’t a problem at all and are actually friendly and to themselves, you get to put your stuff in your room safely and get to put your stuff both in the fridge and microwave with no problem as long as you write your name on it. Is also pretty clean as well, not perfectly clean but there’s no complaining. The spot is also perfect since it’s in Koreatown and pretty safe if you’re a girl traveling alone. Wish...
