“Best Hanok Stay in Seoul”
The host was very wonderful. The house was located right near food shops, convenience shops, laundrymat and just around 20 minutes taxi/uber ride to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Dongdaemun, and other must see places. The house was very tidy and clean with 2 bathrooms. It's affordable compared to other hanoks. Complete furniture and we even got to cook. There's also free wifi which my kids loved. We were given lots of towels, toothbrushes, etc. The heating was sooo effective, we were comfortable inside even on -8C weather.

“A beautiful stay in a peaceful, well-connected hanok with a thoughtful and welcoming host”
We spent a week as guests in this amazing hanok, and everything was just perfect. The check-in process was smooth, thanks to the detailed instructions provided in advance. The host also helped us figure out the best transportation options before we arrived, which was a huge plus. Their hospitality and communication were exceptional - we truly felt welcomed. The hanok was ideally located for us: just a 5-minute walk to the blue subway line and buses, but away from the noisy tourist spots. The neighborhood felt authentic, filled with cozy local restaurants, bars, bakeries, convenience stores , and of course, an Olive Young nearby. The apartment itself was spotless and fully stocked with all the essentials and toiletries. We couldn’t have asked for more.

“Traditional Korean style living with great location and lots of food around”
The traditional Korean style dwelling was great for us to experience. Although I hit my head at least 5 times a day, it still worth to try. The location was very easy. It is close to Line 4 subway and Line 4 takes us to almost everywhere we needed to go.
