Reviews
Nara from United States (8/10)
It is very close to Hongik Univ. Station, so it is convenient for traveling to Hongdae and various places in Seoul. The room is fully equipped, the bed is comfortable, and the bedding is washed every day, so it smells good. Check-in is easy, and the host is always ready to answer questions. I will visit next time I come to Korea. Thank you to the host.
Brenda from Singapore (7/10)
The location was within 10min walk to Hongik Univ metro station. This was the meeting point for some Klook day tours and direct train to Incheon Intl Airport. There is a washing machine within apartment and dryer within building. Induction cooker, fridge and microwave also available. Supplies like washing powder, toilet paper, bath towels etc are well stocked.
