We found it easy to walk to a majority of the historical sites, and there were some amazing restaurants nearby. Also situated next to a river – if you have a chance, please go and take a look!

"What a beautiful, peaceful spot, well maintained, with tasty breakfast prepared by the most welcoming hosts!! It’s not everyday you wind up staying one night and yet kissing your hostess goodbye in the morning, is it?? They lent me an umbrella. They gave me grapes. They walked me to my uber as I was leaving and made sure the driver went the right way. I said I was not too hungry for breakfast and yet I ate the whole thing. Stay here. They are the best. And the bed was divine."

"I had such a restful stay and the accommodation was absolutely beautiful— perfect for being immersed in the traditional Hanok atmosphere. The owner was highly responsive and helpful. It was raining and I was able to locate the accommodation and drop off my belongings/check-in earlier than 3 PM without issue. The property itself was peaceful, clean, and well-maintained. Upon booking I was warned about cats, but they added onto the experience. Location was perfect for exploring Hwangnidan-gil and within walking distance of other historical sites. I also received a complimentary Korean breakfast that was delicious. Overall, highly recommend and would definitely come back for a longer stay with family or friends!"
