8/10 Very good

Good But Could be Excellent
Apartment was really nice, lots of space, big bathroom with great shower, good bed, wifi, kitchen with fridge, microwave and hotplates, a balcony with table and chairs (inside too) and clothes drying rack and sea view. Has aircon, heating and big TV with some English language channels. Close to Express Bus Station and buses to NP.
Check-in was not straight forward as all communication was in Korean and they did not simply say to let them know what time you arrive and they will meet you. Fortunately owner at previous hostel rang them for me and clarified this. Said I would arrive at 3pm but actually got there at 2pm and they let me in.
Kitchen utensils were basic and Asian cooking oriented, but I managed. Has a rice cooker but no toaster and only spoons and chopsticks.
No closet/wardrobe, just a hat rack and 2 hangers for clothes.
Very close to really good EMart supermarket (not the 7/11type) with great range of food. It is also walkable into main town area and there are plenty of buses 9-5, but less often other times.
With a few tweaks this place could be excellent and good value. That said I would still stay there again and recommend it.
