• Zhehan from Australia (10/10)

  The property is nice, clean and very cosy. It is exactly what we hoped for- a modern hanok. The host was super friendly and efficient in communication (my apologies I didn't reply emails quickly). The host also provided a free cleaning of the property during our stay.
  The location of the property is another highlight. It is close to metro stations, 7-11 and CU Shop. Also the surroundings are very traditional Korean community and the royal palace is just 5-10 mins walking distance.

• Dayan from Australia (9/10)

  Clean and comfortable, very well equipped with everything we needed including laundry facilities.

• Editha from Australia (10/10)

  Beautiful Hanok close to the Gyeongbukgong Palace (20 min walk). Place suited a family of 5 and still allowed for privacy. It had great facilities and tools, super neat and clean.

• Christina from Singapore (10/10)

  Such a pretty lovely house located right at Sejong Food Street where there are tons of eateries filled with locals eating drinking, having their rounds 2, 3, just like in Kdramas. Something in the Rain was filmed here & it's a stonethrow away from Gyeongbukgong & Tosokchon. The house is very newly renovated, we even settled most of our laundry here to reduce the load when we get home, they even have games for us to play together. When we went to collect our luggage before heading to the airport, even though they were cleaning, they actually offered to make a cup of hot tea for my mum but just then, our ride came. Touched by their hospitality too! Highly recommended!
