Reviews
Lina from Australia (10/10)
Convenient location with easy access to public transport bus and train and surrounded by convenience stores. Checking in and out a breeze. Water, crockery, utensils, washing machine and shower items were provided, even cooking oil! Hosts Joe and Viktor were very responsive and friendly. When the water dispenser ran out, thanks to Viktor who personally delivered and replenished 18.9-litre of water tank by himself within an hour.

Joseph from Australia (8/10)
We got a taxi to the location but had a little trouble finding the exact gate to our unit as it was night, we were tired and they all looked similar. However, the taxi driver called our host and he arrived within a few minutes to show us the correct unit.
Brent from New Zealand (8/10)
Great location. Basic but very comfortable.
Shakeel from United Kingdom (10/10)
Absolutely everything. The location is central to most attractions in Seoul. You can walk up Namsan mountain to Seoul tower. There's a good variety of quality shops on your doorstep. Public transport is regular and will connect you to most of the city's hot-spots within 20mins. The apartment had all modern amenities and could easily accommodate a family of 4.
The owner Joe is amazing, he was welcoming, made sure we were comfortable and was on hand for any queries. A shining example of Korean hospitality. We will definitely use a property through him on our next visit.Dorota from Poland (10/10)
