  Location

• Nisa from Malaysia (9/10)

  The house is a bit hidden but the location wise is excellent as it is near to Seoul Station. The house has everything you need for your stay. There's coffee shop, mart nearby. Easy to grab a taxi if dont feel like taking train for the day. The landlord also was very accomodating and helpful to ensure we have a great stay, which we did. Its also within walking distance to namsan tower but be mindful that the area is quite hilly and you may be out of breath once you reach namsan tower 😉 Overall it was a good place to stay 🙂

  서울역 근처라서 예약했습니다. 친구들이 지방에서 올라오니 역 가까운 곳이 좋았습니다.
  침대가 여러개 인 것은 좋았습니다. 컵 등이 잘 갖추어져 있었어 좋았습니다.
