  It’s a beautiful property, comfortably appointed, in a great location in Bukchon. The neighborhood is very cute and accessible to a lot of great food and sights.

• Ambre from France (10/10)

  Maison traditionnelle située dans le village hanok Buckchon, ce qui nous a permis de visiter le lieu avec très peu de touristes le soir (noté comme fermé après 17h).
  Petit extérieur mais avec vu sur les toit et on voyait le palais au loin. D ailleurs assez proche du palais Gyeongbukgung.
  Self check-in facile. Explications claires sur la localisation de la maison.
  Interieur très sympa et très propre, avec mobilier high tech qui se marie pourtant bien avec le charme de la maison.
  Nous n avons pas testé le bain extérieur.
  L hôte était très réactif.

• Yan from Switzerland (7/10)

  Appartement bien placé près des palais et à deux minutes à pied d’une ligne de bus dans un quartier tranquille

• Isabelle from France (7/10)

  Le style et la déco du logement sont sobres et élégants. La grande baignoire est un vrai plus ainsi que le vidéo-projecteur avec accès sreaming.
