My accommodation in Seoul for this trip was booked from air bnb. My host, Jisu fetched me from Hongdae station, exit 2 to her apartment which was about 2 mins walk away.

Having an elevator in the building is so important to me. It is one of my top criteria when I looked for my accommodation. |

First impression of the apartment?
Clean and homely.
Jisu told me she used to stay here and only moved out few months ago.
No wonder....

This cabinet is actually a kitchen area. |

Jisu did not have any wardrobe but only that cloth rack in the picture. It was enough for my short stay. |

I feel Jisu is a very thoughtful person from the toiletries provided. |

Airport limousine bus stop is in front of the apartment.
I still prefer taking the AREX to & fro airport becos its cheaper and faster, although its a long walk from the AREX exit to reach Jisu's apartment. The bus to Ganghwa Island is also in front of the apartment. I think there are a lot of air bnb apartments in this building and the rent is pretty high due to the location. What I like to do is, I will always look out for new openings becos the host will usually offer a promotional price for maybe the first month.

Main street of Hongdae is just across the road. |

The trash area is at the basement. One can make use of these recycle bags by carrying down your bottles, trash etc to the trash area. This makes it a lot easier if you have many things to throw.

Yup, it looks like this when you open up the cabinet. |
