The apartment was beautiful. We got there at night, so after unpacking, we went up onto the rooftop after meeting Clement. The view was incredible. When we met Clement, he showed us the local map with hotspots and helped us with tips, and directed us to the bus stop for the number 3 bus route (takes you down to the main metro lines and back up, because those hills are no joke!) The location was immaculate, it was close enough to all of the main metros and Myeongdong, yet it was far enough away from the main touristy streets so it was quieter on the night. However, the apartment works alongside the nearby bar Soulgul, staying there gives you one free drink to use at the bar. All of this made me fall in love with Seoul and the neighbourhood, I am already thinking about my next trip!!

Literally nothing! The only thing that could improve is slightly better hanging space in the bedroom for clothes.

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!

We truly loved our stay here! This place really felt like a home away from home and had some incredible views of the city too. It rained a couple of days while we there so having such a cozy little apartment made all the difference to our trip. When the weather did cleared up, the area offered some really nice spots and food to explore on foot. Naksan park wall only takes a walk 20mins to Dongdaemun and was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. Also, it’s noteworthy to mention that Chang Chang, a nearby retro HK restro offered heaps of character and photo opportunities. Asides from that, Luda and Clement were incredible hosts and really went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasant one. Unfortunately we didn’t get chance to meet Clement but Luda was incredibly welcoming, warm and kind hearted. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The apartment, the location, and the hospitality truly made our trip to Seoul special. We’d absolutely love to come back again someday. Highly recommended!

Everything was great!

A bit late, but our stay here was magic on a hill. The climb was real—but so was the reward: a view that made you pause, breathe, and just take it all in. Tucked on a hilltop, it gave us the most beautiful overlook of Seoul—mornings were peaceful, nights were glowing. Mornings with coffee on the balcony, wrapped in a blanket, watching the city wake up. The walk up was a bit of a workout, but the calm and scenery made it all worth it. Cozy, quiet, and full of charm. Would love to come back. The space was simple, cozy, and quietly beautiful. A perfect kind of stillness between the city's buzz. Thank you for this memory. It stayed long after we left. Marie & Andro

Beautiful place! The owner was exceptionally friendly and helped us with everything. For example I asked if we could get a second blanket, and minutes later he brought us one! The apartment was so well designed and gorgeous, everything was explained with signs! The kitchen had all the facilities you could need! The view was especially breathtaking, there is even a rooftop, accessible to everyone. We were two girls, but felt super safe in the area. At night it is very quite and there are many super cute cafes just around the corner! You could go to all the important places in under an hour, the bus station was only a 2 minute walk away!

Although the bathroom was very nice and clean, the shower temperature was sometimes difficult to regulate. However, this minor issue was easily overlooked due to the beauty of the apartment.

This is a great value little stay just out of the main centre. Everything is in place in the apartment and the views are wonderful. There's plenty to explore in the neighbourhood, with small shops, local restaurants and food markets close by, and it's easy to get to the main attractions. The hosts were exceptional - super responsive and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

This is not a negative but if you're planning on staying here it's much better to arrive by taxi. It's a considerable walk uphill from the station - great if you want to keep fit, but if you are less mobile it would be difficult. There is a bus stop nearby so you can also take the bus to the station.

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.

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!

The property is located on top of a hill in a very local area, making you feel like you are living in your very own k-drama. The flat itself is very cute and comfortable (and warm on cold nights!) and the balcony has the most stunning view of Seoul. The owners are very nice and helpful and have thought of everything one might need in the apartment. We loved our stay at Naksan Balcony and can’t wait to be back here again!

Nothing - everything was perfect and as stated! While it is up on a steep hill, we had no problems walking down the hill and then simply taking bus number 03 back up, which stops just 3 minutes away from the flat. Very convenient!

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
