Reviews

  • Markéta from Czech Republic (10/10)

    The place was really pretty and spacious. The bathroom was new and the cleanest bathroom i've ever seen in Korea. The location was nice if you wanted to stay close to Gwanghwamun and palaces. It was a perfect place to chill at with friends!

  • Wibke from Germany (10/10)

    We had a great stay! The location is perfect – there is a bus stop in only 2 minutes walking distance. The apartment was very quiet although it is very close to a busy street.

  • Karen from Australia (10/10)

    The apartment was a max 15 minute walk from the Gyeongbokgung Station. There are so many restaurants and cafes on he way to the apartment. It's located in a residential, quiet location, yet so close to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Everything you need is provided…except your own toothbrush.:) Easy to use the buses and subway (line 3). There is an airport limousine bus at Exit 2, Gyeongbokgung Station and it's so easy to use to get to the airport. We stayed 5 nights and everyone loved the place. It was great to go out in the morning, come back and have a break or rest from the heat and then go out again in the evening. There is a fantastic Jeju Black Pork BBQ restaurant close by. It was so good we went there twice and both times it was delicious. The apartmtnent is great value for money when sharing with 4 -5 people and a nicer experience than a hotel.

  • Ema from South Korea (9/10)

    It was a lot prettier than the photos and had a nice space where we could all sit together and talk.

  • Jacqueline from Singapore (3/10)

    House was clean and neat. This would have been a good place for 2-3pax that don't mind a smaller space.

  • Jangmi from South Korea (10/10)

    일단 압도적으로 위치가 너무 좋았구요 공간도 충분히 넓고 쾌적해서 다섯명이 지내기에 충분했고 이불과 수건도 넉넉했어요

  • Linh from Vietnam (9/10)

    Chỗ ở thuận lợi, gần đường lớn, gần bến xe bus, gần cung rất tiện đi lại, mỗi ngày đi ra chờ xe bus lại được ngắm hàng cây ngân hạnh lá vàng rực đẹp nao lòng

  • Sunmi from South Korea (10/10)

    숙소가 깨끗하고 아기자기하게 예뻐요~ 경복궁역에서 숙소까지 오는 길이 딱 서촌 데이트코스라 진짜 좋았어요! 위치도 좋고 독채인 숙소라 편안하게 쉬다 갑니다👍🏽
