Lovely hanok next to Naksam Park. Simple and clean. Only downside was the height if the doorway to the main bedroom (if you are tall!) Hill up to house is strenous and not do-able by cab. Take Minho up on his offer to pick up your luggage. An rnjoyable stay in an an of Seoul I would not have thought to stay in. Close to subway and food. Must visit - Achemi Vegan ice cream on the main rd.
