Reviews
Eddy from Vietnam (9/10)
I highly recommend this place for all tourist for a lot of reasons. One, it’s just 5mins walk from seoul station where you can take trains anywhere you want to go. The apartment is clean and accessible from a grocery store, coffee shops and train. Next, the place is SAFE – locks and good lightning. The room is very nice and clean, it almost felt at home. The host provided ALMOST EVERYTHING you need from cleaning to hygiene stuffs, towels etc. The appliances are CLEAN such as the laundry and the refrigerator. The bedsheets are clean and the bed is comfy. The host also is VERY RESPONSIVE anytime, very kind and helpful. We highly recommend this guys, its very affordable also and well ventilated. We’ll positively book here again and recommend to a lot of friends.
