I stayed there for three weeks in March. It has a very good location to the University Teaching Hospital, it's a seven minutes walk. The area is safe, I was even walking around there by early night and we always had electricity. The stuff is friendly and helpful.

숙박 시설로 운영하기엔 아직 준비가 덜 되었음. 그래도 숙박업자가 친절했고 최대한 편의를 봐주었음.
