  This adorable Hankok is located within walking distance of the station. However, I would not recommend people who are thinking of carrying huge luggage. Normal mid to small luggage will have no issue. There are lots of shops and convini nearby. It was easy for us to get to the property as we took taken airport taxi in and out from Incheon to the property. The host is extremely responsive and very thoughtful with the arrangement. The host helped me with communicating to our taxi driver on multiple occasions as well as gave me so many good recommendations for good restaurants. The property was very warm, cute and so much more than just an accommodation. It has inspired my little nephew so much that he has said he wishes his first house to be just like this Hankok. Thank you, JJ for great hospitality. We cannot wait to stay at your property again.
