Luka from Sweden (10/10)
Extremt prisvärt! Lägenhet på 53m2 med allt du behöver. Extremt bra luftkonditionering, rent och välstädat. Smidig in- och utcheckning. Värden svarar nästan direkt när man skriver via booking. När du anländer får du en extremt bra och tydligt genomgång av lägenheten från en av värdarna. Vi fick även utan att fråga tips på vad som finns i närheten (matbutiker, läkemedelsbutiker, resturanger, barer etc). Bra läge om du ska övernatta i närheten av Seoul utan intresse av att turista i centrala Seoul, eller om du bara vill bo i Incheon.
