The space was exactly as pictured. There were many amenities supplied (towels, soap, cooking equipment etc.) and the place was nice and clean. It's close to the subway station so using transit to get around is simple. The host was very responsive and was able to recommend a great K-BBQ restaurant nearby. The hill to get to the property is no joke, but even still, I would stay here again!

Overall a great place to stay in Seoul! This house is in a quiet neighborhood of the city, close to a beautiful trail. It’s perfect for anyone who’s looking for a pet-friendly place in Seoul! It’s one of the only accommodations that accepts bigger dogs, so that’s much appreciated. The house is about a five minute walk to the subway station, making it easy to explore the city. There’s also a small grocery store and two convenience stores nearby. So the location is perfect for anyone traveling in Seoul. Also, Minho is friendly and responsive! The only thing I would mention is that a bit of a surprise is the bathroom is not attached to the living area of the house and you have to cross the yard to get to the bathroom. This isn’t super clear in the listing and can be a bit tricky in the cold Korean winter.

Lovely hanok next to Naksam Park. Simple and clean. Only downside was the height if the doorway to the main bedroom (if you are tall!) Hill up to house is strenous and not do-able by cab. Take Minho up on his offer to pick up your luggage. An rnjoyable stay in an an of Seoul I would not have thought to stay in. Close to subway and food. Must visit - Achemi Vegan ice cream on the main rd.

What makes this property unique

I think the fact that I, a framing carpenter, rebuilt this place makes it a little special.
