Apartment THE SHARE Myeongdong Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Apartment THE SHARE Myeongdong, you’ll notice it’s not your typical hotel — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Seoul‘s shopping district, and I mean right in it. The building itself is modern and clean, though not flashy, which actually fits perfectly with the whole Myeongdong vibe where function meets style without trying too hard.
Location Magic
Here’s the thing about staying in Myeongdong — you’re literally in the center of everything that matters for visitors. I’ve walked these streets countless times, and having your apartment base right here means you can duck back anytime to drop off shopping bags or grab a quick rest. The subway connections are incredible (Myeongdong Station is practically next door), and you know what? Those couples who rated the location 9.4 aren’t exaggerating. When you can walk to Dongdaemun, hop over to Hongdae for nightlife, or catch the airport express without breaking a sweat, you start to understand why location trumps everything else.
The Apartment Experience
What I really appreciate about this place is how they’ve designed each unit to feel like you actually live in Seoul, not just visiting. The room layouts are smart — they’ve maximized every inch without making you feel cramped, which is honestly an art form in this city. Each space comes with a compact kitchenette that’s actually functional (I’ve seen too many that are just for show), and the modern furnishings feel fresh and well-maintained. The Wi-Fi is solid, the air conditioning works properly, and there are enough outlets for all your devices — small details that matter when you’re settling in for several days.
Neighborhood Rhythms
Living in Myeongdong, even temporarily, means you get to experience Seoul’s daily rhythm in a way that hotel guests in quieter areas miss. Mornings start with the aroma of street food vendors setting up, and evenings buzz with energy as locals and tourists blend together on the pedestrian streets. The night markets here are legendary, but what most people don’t realize is that some of the best Korean BBQ spots are tucked into the side alleys just minutes from your door. I mean, where else can you shop for skincare, grab authentic Korean fried chicken, and still make it back to your place before the subway gets crowded?
Why It Works
The real genius of Apartment THE SHARE Myeongdong is how it balances independence with service. You get the freedom of having your own space with a kitchen and room to spread out, but there’s still support when you need it. The 8.6 rating reflects what I’ve experienced — it’s not trying to be fancy, but it delivers exactly what smart travelers want: a clean, well-located base that doesn’t eat up your entire budget. For couples especially, having that private space to regroup between Seoul adventures makes all the difference. Plus, the parking situation is actually manageable if you’re brave enough to drive in Seoul (though honestly, you probably won’t need to).

Clean, conveniently located, and with quick staff responses.
Belle from Singapore (8/10)
Stayed 10 nights here. High tech home in the city. New and very clean. Everything we needed was provided- even the laundry pods, drying racks, table and stools. Appreciated the warm toilet seat and bidet like Japan’s! Heated floor is managed by remote in the unit. Housekeeping and Replenishment of items are done as requested. Very helpful to have a convenient store and Wow pass ksiok at ground floor. Laundry room and storage after check out are very useful. Very close to lines 2 and 3 which is what we took for our main attractions. Staff are friendly and offered extra help. Good food just along the way to the train stations.

Mark from Australia (9/10)
Very clean room, good location. Actually we were bit worried about the cold weather there, but the room has a good temperature, we have to turn the floor heating system off to survive:)
Really happy staying. The owner answered our questions quickly, even borrowed us two power converters.
Highly recommended!Mari from Philippines (9/10)

Sejal from South Korea (9/10)
Excellent location, excellent staff. The room was clean, spacious and had absolutely everything you could think of. Convenient 7 minute walk from subway line 4, with a GS25 right downstairs. I absolutely loved my stay and wish I had found this sooner! Definitely will stay again and definitely worth the money!
