33 pyeong 3BR 2BA 14th floor open view private

Pil was the best host we could have asked for, he was extremely helpful us get situated with our first visit to Korea as well as answering all our questions about the Seung-su area. The luxury apartment is beautiful which had 3 large bedrooms and 4 beds, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware you need, including supplies for the dishwasher, and clothes washer and dryer. By North American standards this is a very large apartment, it’s takes up the entire 14 floor of this apartment unit. Overall we loved this place and stayed two weeks with our 8 month old baby, the space is very large and look even better than the photos; Pil’s wife is a designer so she put a lot of care into the interior. The view from the apartment is also great since you seed both the east and west side of the apartment, all the rooms have black out curtains and all rooms has massive closet space with shirt and pants hangers. Location wise it is only a 5min walk from either the airport bus station or the line 2 entrance. This made our commute around the city pretty easy and uber back from any region to the apartment was less than $20USD usually. There are multiple food restaurants, wine bars and coffee shops outside the apartment as well as emart and CU convenient stores, also a local small grocery store 3min walk south. You are also about a 15min walk south the the Han river or about a 20min walk to Seoul Forest. We hope the next guests enjoy their stay as much as we did, we plan to use this apartment again for our next return trip. PS: We used Kakao talk to communicate with Pil since it was faster than using the messaging system of this booking app. Bonus, we had issues ordering a few online items in Korea and Pil was nice enough to arrange the order and shipment to the apartment for us, we paid him back in cash. The KB bank is down the street from the apartment and allows for foreign debit and credit card withdrawals. We only used cash at the food stalls and local vendor markets, all the actually restaurants and clothing stores took our visa and Mastercard with no problem. Early morning and evenings: Champ cafe is 1min walk from the apartment and is the only coffee place open before 10am. late evenings the udon, katsu and bibimbap restaurants will do takeout if you decide not the dine in, and the wine bar across the street is also great. There are also a few Michelin and blue ribbon rated restaurants nearby but you need to use catch table app to book or do the waitlist. The QR code for waitlist has to be done in-person in front of the restaurant the night you want to dine there and usually the waits for us have been 20-40mins only, so you could just walk back to the apartment while you wait. Past 10pm if you need to do a late night order there is a 24hrs pork bone soup (Gamja-tang) by Blue Elephant so a 10min walk, very busy but they do takeout or dine-in. Just make sure you order rice with your meal as it doesn’t come with their single serving… which honestly can feed two adults, the apartment has all the pots and bowls you need to reheat the takeout.

This apartment was everything we needed with our 2yo toddler. The place spotless, with everything you need(literally everything you can think of is available in this apartment!) for a comfortable stay. The location is brilliant—Seongsu Station is just a 10-minute walk away, all the hottest and trendy spots are there, plus Seoul forest was just 20 minute walk away which we really appreciated. The whole area has such a nice vibe—perfect for exploring local spots and amazing restaurants. Everything from the washer-dryer to the full kitchen setup and smart TV made it feel like a real home away from home. Definitely coming back!

Lovely place and very centralized location. Host was extremely helpful with providing details on how to arrive from airport and for the way back. A 5-minute walk to a shopping street and 10-minute walk to the subway. Several bus stop locations surround the neighborhood for a quick route. Overall an exceptional place, wonderful scenery and delicious food all around.

The host is a very nice person, and the place offers excellent value for money. There's nothing negative to say about it. It's a really great place to stay, and I'd be happy to return on future trips.

Great clean space. Very spacious for a Korean apartment. Perfect place for a family.

It was very comfortable during my stay! It was the same as the photos, clean and pleasant. I want to book again when I come to Korea next time :)
