Apartment J garden Myeongdong Station Overview
You know what caught me off guard about Apartment J garden Myeongdong Station? It’s actually more spacious than you’d expect for Seoul accommodations – and I mean that in the best way possible. When I first walked in, I was honestly relieved because let’s face it, some places in this price range can feel pretty cramped. The apartment setup gives you that little bit of breathing room that makes all the difference when you’re staying more than just a night or two.
The location is honestly the real winner here. I mean, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Myeongdong Station, which sounds obvious from the name but trust me – some places stretch that definition pretty far. This one doesn’t. You can actually hear the gentle hum of the subway in the distance, but it’s not intrusive at all, more like white noise that reminds you you’re plugged into the city. The garden aspect they mention isn’t some grand botanical display, but there’s this pleasant little green space that you glimpse from certain windows. It’s one of those small touches that makes Seoul feel a bit less overwhelming, especially if you’re coming from somewhere with more open space.
What I really appreciated was how the place strikes this balance between being tourist-friendly and authentically local. The building itself feels lived-in rather than sterile – you’ll probably pass a few Korean families in the hallways, which honestly made me feel more like I was experiencing real Seoul life rather than being tucked away in some tourist bubble. The 3-star rating feels about right; it’s clean and functional without any fancy frills, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. At a 7.6 rating, I’d say people’s expectations are pretty well-calibrated – it’s solid without being spectacular. The kitchen setup actually works if you want to grab ingredients from the nearby markets (and there are some great little spots within walking distance), though honestly, with all the incredible food options in Myeongdong, I barely used it. Check-in was straightforward enough, though like a lot of apartment-style places in Seoul, don’t expect the full hotel treatment with someone available 24/7. But really, once you’re settled in and you realize you can walk to Namsan Park when you need some air, or duck into the maze of Myeongdong’s shopping streets when you want chaos, the location just keeps paying dividends.
Seoul’s apartments offer modern accommodations with contemporary design, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this technologically advanced Korean metropolis.

Conveniently located and easy access to variety of halal eateries.
Nur from Singapore (8/10)
I like that the apartment is very near to many halal restaurants so it is very easy for my family and I to find good halal food. Going to Namsan Tower from the apartment also takes us about 5 mins walk up the hill/slope. Its really accessable to many places. The 12 storey Daiso is also really near. To go back home, the airport limousine is also stationed really close. It's a really great spot for us to stay during our trip to Korea. The host is super nice and accomodating. It is really easy to keep in touch with her and she also made sure our stay is comfortable. I would definitely recommend to families with bigger kids.
Wan_z from Singapore (9/10)
Location was superb. Nearby Halal eateries and Myeongdong Night Market and Namsam. Walking distance to Myeongdong station. Facilities like elevator and washer dryer is really good and we appreciate it very much. Apartment is small but comfortable and clean. WiFi is excellent. Kids love the loft beds. Host is nice and accommodating. Thumbs up for our stay at the apartment.
Miscen from Philippines (9/10)
The property was in the heart of Myeongdong and very convenient to go around the area and Seoul. Near many shopping areas and restaurants. The area felt safe as it was across the street from the busier part of Myeongdong so it was not as crowded. There is a 7-11 across the street and several other convenience stores.

Great communication from the host, especially when locating the flat – it's not immediately obvious. the host was very helpful in giving directions. it was immaculately clean and just as described
