Jennifer from United States (7/10)
Amazing location, full of great restaurants, right next to Gyeongbokgung Palace, subway stations and Airport Limo service. We stayed in the basement apartment that had 4 beds, plentiful AC, washing machine, space to eat meals as a family. The host left towels, dishes and pots to make a long term stay comfortable.

위치가 매우 좋으면서도 숙소 주변은 조용해서 좋았습니다. 호스트와 소통이 빠르게 잘 되며, 각종 지침이 자세하게 나와 있고 숙소 체크인도 매우 쉬웠습니다. 4인 투숙했는데 6인 기준 이불을 제공해 주셨고 수건도 충분했습니다.
