★★★★★9 months agoWas walking to the park, decided to stop by here on the way - super interesting and fun to see - worth the pass by! It’s just the design of houses - open to public to just walk by on sidewalk!
Aslan Venom
★★★★★8 months agoReally beautiful to see these 7 houses next to each other. Architectual delight! I was surprised to see many people, especially tourists, visiting the houses. Also, that many of them were youngsters. Than I became aware that this is a touristic attraction.
