Newly Renovated Cozy Studio#9 Overview

You know what really surprised me about Newly Renovated Cozy Studio#9? I walked in expecting your typical budget studio situation, but honestly, someone put real thought into this space. The renovation they did – and I mean, you can still smell that fresh paint smell, but in a good way – actually transformed what I’m guessing used to be a pretty basic room into something that feels, well, genuinely cozy.

The layout is smart in a way that most small spaces aren’t. They didn’t just throw a bed and a kitchenette together and call it a day. There’s this little reading nook by the window that catches morning light perfectly, and I actually found myself using it with my coffee instead of just sprawling on the bed like I usually do in hotel rooms. The kitchen area – I mean, it’s compact, but they included a real coffee maker (not one of those pod things) and enough counter space to actually prep a simple meal if you want to save some money on dining out. The bathroom renovation is probably what impressed me most, though – they managed to fit in a decent shower that doesn’t feel like you’re washing in a closet.

What really sells this place for me is the attention to those little details that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. The lighting isn’t harsh fluorescent nonsense – they installed these warm LED fixtures that actually make you want to hang out in the evening. The bed is surprisingly comfortable for what I’m assuming isn’t a high-end mattress, and they provided blackout curtains that actually block light (you’d be amazed how rare that is). I also appreciated that they included plenty of outlets and USB ports – seems obvious, but you know how it is trying to charge everything with one outlet behind a heavy dresser. The Wi-Fi was solid throughout my stay, no dropping calls or buffering issues when I needed to work. Honestly, the 9.7 rating makes sense once you spend time here. It’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. For the price point of a 3-star place, you’re getting the reliability and comfort of somewhere that costs quite a bit more.

Reviews of Newly Renovated Cozy Studio#9

  • Gizkelly from United States (10/10)

    The host was extremely helpful throughout my stay! Accommodation is in a convenient neighborhood filled with local shops, cafes, restaurants and many convenience stores/markets. Perfect for working remote or solo traveling!

  • Sean from South Korea (10/10)

    Great location and value for money! The apartment was so clean and had everything I needed. Located in HBC, a trendy neighbourhood, it was also really close to Itaewon. The bus stop and subway station were close-by too.

    Joe, the host was so helpful. He even left bottles of water at my door in the morning!

  • Paul from Belgium (8/10)

    Good location close enough to Itaewon in a quiet neighbourhood, very comfortable floor heating. Our flight was delayed so we arrived quite late, our host greeted us and gave us some food and drink to get us through our first day, also booked our taxi on the way out and was always very quick to respond and kept in touch with us. Washing machine and kitchenette available, Good value for money.

  • Mura from France (10/10)

    L’impression d’être Coréen et le quartier rempli de bonnes adresses. Le propriétaire habite tout près et on peut compter sur lui pour toutes demandes.

  • Kai from Israel (10/10)

    דירת סטודיו נקייה ומרווחת עם כל מה שצריך. אמנם לא יצא לי לבשל אבל יש מטבח מאובזר למדי. בר מים עם מים קרי וחמים שאפשר להשתמש ללא הגבלה. יש גם מכונת כביסה, היא לא עבדה כשהייתי אז בעל המקום סיפק לי כרטיס לחנות כביסה בהמשך כאופציה חלופית. יש וויפי חזק, אני עבדתי מהלפטופ ללא שום בעיות.
    יש חימום תת ריצפתי אז ממש נעים בכפות הרגליים (:
    בעל המקום היה מאוד נחמד, הגיע לבקר אותי, דאג שהכל בסדר ונתן לי הרבה המלצות על האזור!
    שכונה צעירה ונעימה, יש הרבה ברים חמודים ובתי קפה באזור, קרוב לתחבורה ציבורית קלה ונוחה.
    הדירה נמצאת על גבעה אז תתכוננו קצת לעליות, אבל עם זאת גם לנוף מלמעלה של העיר שלגמרי שווה את זה.
    יש מינימקטים ומכולות 7 דק' הליכה, מאוד נוח.
    הייתי חוזרת שוב! תמורה טובה מאוד למחיר
