Naksan Balcony

Amazing apartment with incredible views of Seoul in atmospheric neighbourhood that is well worth exploring. Hosts were super friendly and communicative which made our stay even more special. The local bus number 3 is a convenient two minutes walk to connect to with all the public transport services and the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hidden in a local neighborhood, offers really different vibes from the modern city part of Seoul. We got to experience the local life by staying here :) The owners are super nice and helpful - would definitely come back for their 2 pax studio or the bigger flat upstairs. We were also lucky enough to bump into some TV drama shooting one night and the owner said the neighborhood is actually a popular spot for shooting.

It’s indeed a bit of hike (quite steep) from the subway station. While I personally enjoy it as a hiker, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. There’s a community bus every 5 mins from the subway station though!

This modern apartment is located in the real Seoul, not the concrete and glass ubiquitous hotel sector. Every evening we ate genuine Korean food cooked at the traditional street market at the bottom of the hill, sitting with friendly locals - not another tourist in sight. Across the main road was the famous Dongdaemun market, and we walked to many of the city's top attractions from here. The "hill" is an important part of this area's character. I am 60 years old and had no problem - and there's always the bus to the top. Fans of K-drama will love the roof-top garden, and the night view from here across Seoul is magnificent. The owners were friendly and helpful. We loved it.

First all, thanks to host as pickup me and my cousin in the middle of the winter season and at early morning around 1am. It's freaking cold. Supposedly, we could get a taxi, but at weekend, it's kinda hard. I lost my SIMCARD otw there. HOST, you are the best. Not only for the hospitality, but the apartment was so good. It is a spacious apartment complete with everything, amazing balcony view, and nice rooftop terrace. It is easy access to public transport.

Despite of it, it's so hilly as it at the top of hill. I enjoy when going down the hill but too tired to climb it up. HAHAH. I stay there for a few days so I get used to it, so TRAVEL LIGHT PLEASE!!. IF not just take TAXI (KAKAO TAXI or UBER).hehe

Amenities inside the property is good, toiletries and towels all included, the shower water pressure can be improved, the beds are comfy and very clean. The view from balcony very beautiful.

The apartment was very well designed with great views. It had everything necessary supplied and felt very welcoming. Really my home from home.

Although the location is lovely it was on occasion quite tiring to climb the hill to get to the apartment.

Very hospitable and kind hosts. The location of the apartments is on a mountain, which offers a beautiful view of the city. Nearby there are several metro stations, which is very convenient for a comfortable journey.

Perhaps, you might get tired of climb a mountain. But over time you get used to it.

The views at Naksan Balcony are spectacular. The rooftop terrace is so nice after a busy day in the city . The hosts are amazing and very helpful about the area and how to get taxis, etc. The property is spacious and spotless. We would definitely stay again. It's very quiet at night. Wifi is speedy and reliable. Hosts have thought of everything to make stay easier, i.e., umbrellas, maps, AC etc.

The property is at the top of a hill, but the public transport links (2x subway stations and a regular bus) are great, and taxis are very cheap compared to the UK. So the hill wasn't really an issue but could be for people less mobile. However, a lot of Seoul is hilly so hard to avoid hills!

beautiful apartment, the view from balcony is gorgeous; host is super nice! the neighborhood has some cute restaurants and cafes hidden in the alley, worth a trip to explore

it’s located uphill, so travel light!
