Hongik stay2

Communication with the host, Jemma, went very smoothly right from the start. On the day of our arrival, we received the access code for the flat and guidelines on how to use the facilities and sort the rubbish. We were pleased with the fast Wi-Fi and the mosquito nets on the windows. The air conditioning worked perfectly, as did the fridge and microwave. We didn’t use the washing machine, hob or tumble dryer. In my opinion, there’s enough crockery for two people. I was pleasantly surprised by the bathroom design; I’d been worried that I’d end up flooding the whole place whilst showering, but there was plenty of space (unless, of course, you’d accidentally left the shower option selected instead of the washbasin). The bed linen was clean and smelled lovely. The host also provided plenty of towels and a generous supply of toiletries in the bathroom, as well as slippers for walking around the flat and umbrellas. The neighbourhood is pleasant and quiet, not far from Hongik Station. As in the rest of Seoul, we felt very safe.

The waste sorting system in Seoul was a bit of a challenge, but thanks to Jemma and Google, we managed it. An unpleasant smell would sometimes waft from the bathroom drain, but I’ve encountered this in many places around the world and consider it common. I’m only mentioning it as a tip for those who are particularly sensitive to smells.

- Modern compact yet optimized design - Complete set of up to date appliances (microwave, fridge, hairdryer, stovetop, vacuum cleaner, etc…) - Thoughtfully provided many power adaptors, tea, water, tissues and towels - Comfortable bed, great shower and heating - Convenient location (easy access to both Hongdae and Sinchon, connecting almost anywhere) - Close to the vibrant areas of Hongdae but in a rather calm street, and the room is rather quiet - Responsive host, provided helpful advice :)

- Lack of natural light (but not bothersome if you just need a place to sleep) - No bedside lamp, only bright ceiling lights which had to be used due to the lack of natural light (but again, not a major setback) - Limited utensils and cutlery
