"Clean property and perfect for four of us. The aesthetics were beautiful. Not super comfortable to spend a day but we weren’t there to be inside. Communication with the owner was great and she quickly answered the questions I had. The area was virtually amazing. It’s not touristy, which we appreciated. Lots of local shopping marts with the friendliest people and so many things to see. The Seoul City Wall was right up the street - the top had a warm coffee shop with amazing views. "
