I Sleep Alone

It is a 1-minute walk from Yeongdeungpo Station, Exit 1, under the overpass, just around the corner from GS25. There is an arrow sign to the guesthouse, so you won't get lost. The main door has a password lock, and there is no staff on-site, so please let the guesthouse know your arrival time in advance. (Email, Kakao, Line, etc.) This is a typical Korean "gosiwon" type guesthouse. I've been here since before COVID-19, but this time I was guided to "2" in the annex (reservations seem to be one yen). It is a single room with a shower, gosiwon style, but the room is spacious, and the shower and toilet are by the window. The annex 2 also has only the front desk on the 1st floor, and the rooms on the 2nd to 5th floors are private rooms, and there is no elevator. You put your shoes in a locked shoe locker at the entrance, so the corridors inside the building are clean. Check-out is simple with just a key drop, and there is almost no interaction with the staff. The room is a little larger than other gosiwons, about 3 tatami mats. There is a desk, a TV, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a hair dryer, towels, etc. are provided. There is a Wi-Fi router in each room, so there is no stress when it comes to getting online. There are few electrical outlets, and although there is a multi-tap, it is not enough as three are used for home appliances. In addition to towels, toothbrushes, razors, shampoo, and body soap are provided. There are a variety of storage spaces, including stools and hanger hooks above the beds, which is helpful for longer stays. There is also a washing machine room on the 4th floor, where you can use the washing machine and detergent. The shared kitchen is on the 2nd and 5th floors and has a water purifier, microwave, IC, and refrigerator. You are free to use the rice in the rice cooker and kimchi. The room is bright because the window in the shower room next to the window is large, but light shines in at dawn. It would be nice if there were blackout curtains or shades between the room and the living room, but it is too bright to sleep.
