And remember to check the website often for the cinema room schedule. If you find it too stuffy indoors, you can relax by walking in the outdoor social space.

My experience booking accommodation abroad was very pleasant, and the process was smooth. The toybox I rented is within a five-minute walk to convenience stores, bus stops, train stations, and post offices. The Premier League cinema is a ten-minute walk away, and the city center is a 15-minute walk. There is a Chinese girl at the front desk of the toybox, so we could communicate in Chinese, and she's really nice~

The house is nice, the triangular kitchen is spacious, and the view is great. The ensuite is also quite good, and it’s only a 10-minute walk from the city center. The receptionist is very nice, there is 24-hour hot water and front desk service, and someone is available to receive packages. The bus to the school goes directly, and the bus stop is right downstairs.
