  We love everything about Viva la Vida..the location is very strategic, easy access to public transports, very close to the palace, within walking distance. The area itself is very nice and quiet, at the same time very modern. The apartment itself is very clean, the facilities are great. Tony was very responsive to every question or query that we had. We had ag great stay. Should we happen to revisit Seoul, we would be inclined to stay in Viva la Vida again!

  1、房间布置非常有氛围感，提供的设备非常高级，有按摩椅、消毒衣柜，免治马桶，烤箱，微波炉，冰箱里还放了超级好喝的豆奶，还有提供乌冬面作为早餐，客厅提供茶具，胶囊咖啡机，手冲壶，基本上可以过上在家的生活，真的是非常用心的布置。
  2、三室一厅的房型，2人入住可以有独立空间，还有一个按摩间，对日行3万步的游客太贴心了。
  3、房东安利的西村的餐酒馆都非常好，没有踩雷的。西村是一个居住氛围很浓的区域，悠闲的旅游，出入有公交车也很方便，不用上上下下换乘地铁。

  사장님 응대 엄청 친절하시고 세세하게 다 알려주셔서 너무 감사했고 인테리어도 좋았어요 바깥보다 숙소에서 친구들과 맥주먹는 게 더 힐링될 정도? 개인적으론 호텔보다 편했어요 여러사람들 머무르는 곳이라 좀 걱정했는데 생각보다 깨끗했구요 모든것이 갖춰져 있어 아침까지 행복했어요!

• Iana from Russia (10/10)

  Отличная квартира в очень хорошем районе. Видно, что владельцы делали все с идеей. В квартире много интересных деталей, кофемашина, чистая питьевая вода, лед, чай и все для чайной церемонии, Netflix и зонтики. Две спальни. Очень рекомендую эту квартиру.
