Reviews

  • Dina from Australia (10/10)

    The apartment was perfect for a family of four and was so central to everything. It was close to the action – Hongdae Street – and yet in a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of modern and traditional Korean eateries and cafes. Hongik Univ Station was only a 5-10 min walk and it's a major interchange station to the Airport Railroad and other lines.
    Our host was very responsive, friendly and hospitable. Small touches such as complimentary umbrellas, plenty of towels and a cold/hot water filter made our stay comfortable.
    It was a first visit to Korea as a family and because we had such a positive experience, when we return we want to stay at Kbook9 again. Definite recommend.
