“This guesthouse, nestled in the charming Buam-dong neighborhood, provides a welcome respite from central Seoul's bustle; its location, though slightly removed, is quite accessible. More than just lodging, it's an authentic experience thanks to the genuinely hospitable hosts, Young In and Sam, who clearly go above and beyond for their guests, creating a convivial atmosphere with homemade breakfasts and local insights. It's the kind of place that gives you a fresh appreciation for Seoul.”
