10/10 Excellent
"This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting Seoul. The host Pony was very responsive and communicated with us through WhatsApp. They were able to help us in booking a pick up from the airport, which was well worth it as this was our first time visiting the city. The apartment was well furnished and had all the amenities we needed over the week that we stayed. A case of water was provided each time that the apartment was cleaned and having a washer was a major plus. The apartment is next to a supermarket and many restaurants across the street. Line 1 and 2 of the metro are accessible with a 10 to 15 minute walk. My family and I really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again."
