This three-story inn features a charming rooftop garden where I stayed for several days—perfect for drying clothes too! Two adorable pets are super friendly yet maintain just the right boundaries—classic cat attitude lol 😄 The ground floor has a cozy restaurant serving authentic, delicious local dishes. The chef 🧑‍🍳 constantly experiments with new recipes—I was lucky to try their stinky tofu and cheese fusion, creating an unexpectedly delightful fried texture...yep, totally my taste! Across the street is a cultural boutique called "Fish is Coming"—and "boutique" is no exaggeration! The owner's impeccable taste blends Eastern and Western styles seamlessly, with historically inspired selections that stand out. I instantly fell for an exquisite accessory—meant as a brooch but makes a stunning bag charm. Love it! Next visit for the fish lantern festival? Definitely staying here again.
