Notice
Have you by any chance watched Squid Game~?
In the scene where the Gganbu grandfather plays marbles, the grandfather becomes lost in memories, saying the game set looks just like the neighborhood of his childhood.
Our accommodation is not an apartment or villa, but an old-style Korean detached house (on the 2nd floor, the owners—a real-life Gganbu grandfather and grandmother—actually live ).
Because of this, due to the nature of a detached house with a yard, insects may come in from outside or appear.
However, to prevent that as much as possible, our accommodation receives regular monthly visits for pest control and management services from Cesco, Korea's No.1 pest extermination company.
Nevertheless, due to the nature of a ground-floor detached house, it cannot be completely ruled out, so we are informing you in advance
