Sbvyl84 from Canada (10/10)
Subway station is really just a minute away. Highly recommend if you're planning to stay in Hongdae area as it is very close to the shopping street. And 1 train ride to and from the airport was very convenient, especially if you have heavy luggages. A washer in the unit was a plus and cooking utensils if you need them. Beds were very comfortable as well.

The place is so convenient. Go down the elevator to basement is directly to the subway. Ground floor to the bus stop opposite. So near Hongdae street where there are a lot of restaurants to choose from.

Alice from Singapore (10/10)
My second time staying here. Location always a 10/10 as it’s literally above Hongik Uni subway station and just 2 stops away from Seoul station via AREX.
Got to meet the friendly host this time (didn’t get to meet him the first time) and managed to get a hanwoojib recommendation from him which is just less than a 5-minute walk from the accommodation!
Had a perfect stay just like the first time and would stay here again if I come back to Seoul.😊Yoke from Malaysia (10/10)

Superb location! Literally right next to Hongik subway station. Room is clean, well equipped, and spacious for 2 people. There’s big fridge, sink, and washer; really suitable for long stays. The manager can communicate in English and is very helpful.
Laura from United States (10/10)
Loved the location. Close to the subway, restaurants and shopping. The manager was very attentive and let us store our luggage in his office after checkout and before our flight.
Rica from Philippines (10/10)
The residence was very accessible to Hongik Univ Station. It’s also right across the Hongdae street so guests may explore anytime they want. There was a Dunkin Donuts branch in the lobby, so it’s easy to get coffee. Overall, the location and the ambiance was great! The residence manager was easy to talk to as well.
