4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Fascinating display devoted to the 2016 earthquake although a bit cramped, the museum is smaller than expected judging by the outside of the building.

Close to shopping and restaurants.
The couch was small and uncomfortable. The tv didn't reach to the bedroom so couldn't relax and watch tv.
