Amazing Stay

The loft is in a great location in the middle of Seoul. You are next to DDP and have a station with three lines that can get so almost anywhere in Seoul. The property was clean and is well maintained.

Great apartment, outstanding location

The apartment is lovely and you couldn't ask for a better location in Seoul - very centrally located with bus and subway access within two minutes of walking. The airport limousine stops right in front. Great shopping district as well. Lastly, the host is extremely kind and understanding. You won't be disappointed!

Seoul City Stay

Overall extremely impressed with the apartment - checking in was a breeze and the thoughtful touches (quality toiletries, snacks & coffee) made it very welcoming. Although we had some cold weather the outside seating for drinks was still very usable for morning coffee and sundowners.The location is very close (50m) to a subway station for convenient travel across the city & the added bonus was the Airport Express bus dropping off literally 20m away made the transfer about as easy as you could imagine.

Great location and great host!

Our host really made sure we had an enjoyable stay. She greeted us upon check in and was always prompt with responses. The location is very conveniently located as the 6001 bus drops you off steps from the entrance. Note it is a couple flight of stairs to get to the apartment. The room itself was well stocked with a lot of attention to detail. It's within walking distance to blue and green line which makes it a convenient location! Highly recommend.

Amazing gem in seoul

Absolutely loved my stay at Loft 282 in Seoul, South Korea! The location couldn't be more perfect as it’s only a 2 minute walk to Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and station, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. The rooftop was a highlight - a beautiful spot to unwind with drinks and food by the fire while planning the next day's adventures. The apartment itself was peaceful and exquisitely furnished, providing a cozy retreat after a day of sightseeing. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Seoul!

We rented the 2nd floor unit for 5 weeks starting September 15, 2025, and it was such a great experience. The location was perfect for us, especially since the airport limo bus 6001 stop was literally steps from the property. We used it a few times for our multiple trips to ICN for flights to/from Japan. We were away for 14 days during our stay, but never worried about our stuff thanks to the CCTV outside the main gate and a couple more on the property. That gave us real peace of mind. The area gets super lively at night, with street food stalls and tents popping up, some staying open past 2 or 3 a.m. I’m not totally sure about the exact hours, but it always felt safe to be out late with so many people around shopping and eating. The superhost, Kim, was awesome- she’d check in with us now and then via text, and her English was perfect, so communication was a breeze. She’s very likable and kind. We loved exploring the food scene nearby. DDP is right across the street, and we ate there a few times, but there are also tons of great Korean restaurants just a few blocks away. Most were delicious and reasonably priced. My husband and I made so many great memories here. The only reason we didn’t stay longer is because my mom joined me, and she can’t handle steep stairs. If the same unit was on the first floor, I’d still be there! I’d absolutely book this place again in the future.

This will always be my first choice when visiting Seoul! Such a convenient location close to everything, and is a short train ride to popular locations like Gangnam, Hongdae, and Itaewon. Has an amazing but quiet night market. Exceptional host who is such a lovely and sweet person. The host responds quickly to any questions or requests! The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment was so nice and clean! Beautifully restored home stocked with what you need for a stay in Seoul. You will never go wrong in choosing this place to stay. Super safe area close to a very beautiful Dongdaemun Plaza. Train station is not even a 5 minute walk away. This location was my favorite to stay in during my two month stay in Korea. Please choose her location! You will not regret it!
