The room was really clean (can barefoot) and spacious. The communication with the host was very smooth via WhatsApp and the location was super duper strategic. Highly recommend staying in room 203 as it has a very good view of the nearby Jonker street. The shared bathroom was clean and spacious. The water pressure is low but sufficient to use. I highly recommend visiting this place if you are planning to walk around Jonker area.
