Reviews
Oleg from Russia (10/10)
No neighbors, access to the roof, cozy atmosphere, caring staff.
Stefan from Germany (9/10)
Die Wohnung liegt verkehrsgünstig um Seoul mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erkunden in einer ruhigen Nebenstraße. Sie ist sehr groß und sehr nett eingerichtet. Klimaanlage gibt es in zwei von drei Zimmern. Ein Schlafzimmer muss ohne auskommen. Die wirklich große Küche ist sehr überschaubar eingerichtet. Zwar isst man sehr viel auswärts, jedoch sind zwei kleine und zwei größere Teller doch sehr wenig. Trink- und Weingläser sucht man auch vergebens. Es gibt lediglich Kaffeetassen und Plastikbecher.
Uns hat die Wohnung trotzdem super gefallen und würden bei einem weiteren Besuch von Seoul wiederkommen.Yuika from Japan (10/10)
すごく綺麗だった

숙소가 엄청 넒고 편안했어요. 난방도 너무 잘 나오고 정말 아늑한 곳이었어요. 옥탑도 시원하게 뚫려있고 올라가서 바람 쐬기 너무 좋았어요:)
