I had a really cool experience and I totally recommend this place for those who want to explore Seoul and live the South Korean culture! The work as pretty simple and you actually work less than they tell you if you're a quick person! You have 4 days off which is incredible and you'll have plenty of time to explore the city and the surroundings! The location is amazing, really close to hongdae, only 15min walking and there's a bunch of restaurants, supermarkets, cafe shops around and the bus station is right in front of the place. Next time I'm in Seoul I will definitely go back there!

It was so nice to stay here , we have many free time to do things, we have 4 days off . The guesthouse place is good as well , close to university, so it's easy to go out have fun, walk 20 mins can arrive Hongdae. There is a bus station in front of the guesthouse, so it is convenient.
