Jodie from Australia (10/10)
Such a comfortable CLEAN and spacious home in a fabulous location. We loved it so much we cancelled accommodation in another part of Seoul to return here to Hongdae at the end of our South Korea trip.
Excellent access to the train station, eateries, convenience store and plants of family friendly nightlife. With the station so close, you can explore all of Seoul easily. The station is also a common meeting place for a lot of tour group operators.
The guesthouse is very private, soundproofed, and comfortable.
Communication was easy, clear and timely.Ian from New Zealand (8/10)
Apartment is a large place close to transport and restaurants.
Tan from Singapore (10/10)
Easy self checked in, the super host with well spoken & written English will provide you the code to enter the property one day before your arrival. The only advise if you are planning lots of shopping, for heavy luggage are not advisable as there are staircases to shift your luggage when you check out the property. Unless there are hunk / men assisting you with the luggage, this property will be the perfect choice for a party of 2 to 4 pax ABnB. Thumbs up !!

Clean and Spacious Apartment.
Steven from United States (10/10)
My fiancé and I stayed here for just over a week and had a great time in this apartment! It was very large and comfortable, with basically anything/everything you could want or need in the apartment. Air conditioners were great and cold, fridge was big, bathroom is nice. The location is absolutely amazing too, it’s about a 5-8 minute walk from Hongdae train station & the Main Street for Hongdae shopping, nightlife, food, etc. On the street where this apartment is, there are tons of great food & cafe options. There bus stops like 1 min walk from the apartment that are very convenient too. Really, it was an amazing spot and we highly recommend it!

Petr from Czech Republic (9/10)
The appartment was nice, clean and well-equipped.
Location is great. It is close to metro station, there are several restaurants on the same street and much more in walkable distance. And awesome bakery around the corner. The street is generally peaceful and quite (= it is not a party street).
The owner is nice and informs in understandable way.
I would stay here again.Chatsuda from Thailand (8/10)
