“This guesthouse resides in a quieter, untouristed section of Seoul, yet it's surprisingly convenient. A short walk reaches Namsan Park, while the city center and main attractions remain easily accessible. The genuine kindness of the hosts, coupled with the comfortable, spacious rooms, creates a welcoming atmosphere.”
