“Great experience!”
The true experience of staying in a traditional house especially when the owner is staying there too, and the chance to taste typical breakfast for Korean family for a day. The house is up on a little slope, not too near the train station, and if one do not want to rely on the bus right at its door step, there are quite a bit of walking to do but serve as a good form of exercise. The neighbourhood is nice to explore.

“Loveliest place to stay in Seoul. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.”
The guesthouse was a traditional Korean house and you will definitely feel the authenticity of the place. I really loved how the floors were heated, and the location was lovely and peaceful despite it being in the city. The host, Helen, was absolutely brilliant and she was so hospitable. We had to check in really late and check out at the early hours, and she was up to say goodbye which was really sweet.

“Excellent location for traditional Hanok experience”
Excellent location, the place itself was super clean and beautifully decorated, we had all necessary amenities in the room. Hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. And the breakfast was 10/10 - one of my friends can't eat pork for religious reasons and our lovely host fixed another type of traditional breakfast for her (different from what they served to everyone that day).
