Host (Joshua) cancelled one hour before check in on a holiday weekend in Seoul. There were no other lodgings except a commuter hotel near the train station with twin bed & shower - toilet inside the bedroom at 145 per night (twice my VRBO confirmed housing). I’ve heard last minute cancellations by VRBO hosts are common. BEWARE !

Appartement bien situé pour accéder notamment à la Namsn Tower. Appartement des bus. Par contre appartement très humide donc pas adapté aux longs séjours.
