It was a great experience to stay at a traditional Hanbok house so close to the palace, subway station, hanbok rentals, convenience stores, restaurants and many more. The property was clean and fitted with amenities. Comfortable beds. We mostly moved around in taxis and got picked up and dropped off right at the door. There were sporadic whiffs of sewage smell, but frankly, you get those everywhere in this city. Great experience, would return.

Bathroom is not located in the main house. It was an add on to the original house and not what was depicted in the original pictures. When standing outside the house you can hear everything that happens in the bathroom, as I could hear my son while I was waiting for him outside. Does not give much privacy. Shower room had broken tiles and some mold spots on the ceiling making it undesirable to want to shower. The rest of the house was clean and had 3 beds as depicted. Host was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Fantastic Location
Great location. Perfect for the family where exploring is your priority. Everything you need is within 7 minutes. Shower is small and so is toilet stall. Not ment for most North American Adult males. Traditional Korean home that has been updated recently. The neighbourhood is safe quiet and well located. We loved our stay.
