  The appartment is located near shops, cafes and restaurants, near bus and metro station and within walkable distance to centre. It was well equipped, and contact with Ponny (host) was perfect! We have received all needed instruction on time and also tips how to travel to and from the airport. It was possible to check in earlier which was very very appreciated after long flight. Very good place to stay in Seoul.

• Rukhshona from Germany (10/10)

  a family-run hotel with great service. Every request or concern I had was dealt with within shortest time possible. Ponny and her family made me feel welcome, comfortable and ensured that I had everything I needed and even more than I expected/or asked for. My room was clean and even the dust from the lamps on the ceiling was removed, since I am allergic to dust.
  As I stayed more than 5 days I got a WIFI router with internet connection for free. I was using it during my 15 day stay and it worked perfectly fine. I actually regret buying the SIM card in the airport, because i actually didn't really use it at all.
  
  The location is not filled with tourists, which i really liked. If I wanted to go see all there is to see in Seoul, there were Subway stations nearby and a bus stop which was about 2 minutes walk from the hotel. ATMs and a big Supermarket were within 2-3 minutes walk. Even a pharmacy was close by.
  
  If you want to experience Korean hospitality at its finest and especially if you are traveling solo, like me, I definitely recommend this hotel.
  
  I want to thank Ponny and Ponny's father for everything they did for me and made my first time stay in Seoul unforgettable.
