My stay at Take 1 Guesthouse was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the subway and surrounded by great places to eat. However, I found the cleanliness of certain areas, particularly the shared spaces, to be lacking. While the price was affordable and breakfast was included, I did notice some issues that detracted from my overall comfort.

I had a pretty mixed experience at Take 1 Guesthouse in Hongdae. The room I stayed in was just as I expected; clean sheets, a comfy bed, and close to the subway, which was super convenient. However, the common areas weren't really welcoming, and I noticed some cleanliness issues that definitely need attention. Overall, it's a decent spot if you don't have super high expectations.
