  Fast reply from owner. We got rejected when we first requested for early check in. However, when we landed Seoul and remind the owner of our stay, he allowed us to checked-in early. Very thankful for that. Apartment was clean and well organised. Train station were a distance away from the apartment and the location of the apartment is far from main city. Won't recommend if you are not in into walking.
