Karen from United Kingdom (9/10)
I can’t stress enough how much we loved staying here, it felt like home immediately. The apartment was immaculate, the fridge was stocked with cold water (it was HOT outside!), the air conditioning was superb, the beds were comfortable (and having a room each was such a treat), there was every amenity we needed, we loved the walk from the bus stop/subway each day, especially when we discovered the side street of vendors and market stalls, the apartment and area were so lovely to be in. We honestly didn’t want to leave, and if I’m lucky enough to come back to Korea I will book this again.
