The host was friendly, but when I contacted them about a wasp nest on the eaves of the roof, they told me to spray mosquito repellent, which was a bit disconcerting.
The house was clean overall, but since the washing machine was outside, there were spiderwebs and bugs inside. So, after about five days, I took my laundry to a laundromat near Changnyeong Library and washed it.
The area was really quiet, so I recommend borrowing books from the library on the first or second day through the Book-Embedding service. On sunny days, I recommend turning on the air conditioning, curling up in bed or the living room, and reading.
