The house offers a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and coffee machine, plus a washing machine for longer stays. Guests use a flat-screen TV, modern toilet with bidet, and a hairdryer in the private bathroom. The property provides free WiFi throughout, though taxi drivers may need written directions due to the location in the Dongmyo market.
