■ THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS
Our flat is located in the core of uptown (Gangnam) where all the festivals and/or events (your must-go spots) takes place every day. There are a hundred of reasons to love GANGNAM. To illustrate just a few, there are a bunch of places like cafes, all kinds of restaurants & bars, and very interesting shops, etc (refer to the pictures) that you can visit just by simply walking around. You can just name it, you will have all within just an arm’s reach. Not to mention that the 24/7 convenience store in front of studio building also (*refer to pictures shown), our studio is within an unlimited variety of restaurants that range from fast food take-out to exquisite fine dining.
World Trade Center & COEX Mall ; The World Trade Center holds all variety of exhibition, conventions, forums and etc almost every day and the COEX Mall is the largest underground shopping center in Asia, located only three stops away from GangNam metro station Line #2 (takes only 10 minutes to reach). The colossal shopping center stretches from SamSeong Station (Line #2) in the south all the way to BongEunSa temple in the north, and is considered to be the best shopping and entertainment complex in the area.
Garosu-Gil ; used to be where aspiring Korean artists used to set up their studios, away from the more expensive districts. Now it has become lined with Asian and European fusion restaurants and cafes, latest fashion and designer clothing and accessory boutiques, art galleries and nightclubs. This 700 meter-long boulevard lined with gingko trees can be especially pleasant (or romantic) for pedestrians (or for couples) out for a stroo in autumn, as the golden gingko leaves imbue the visitors with an indelible sense of warmth and nostalgia. Contrary to some of the crowded hustle-and-bustle shopping districts like Myeongdong, Garosu-gil offers a welcome change of pace, and is particularly suited for trend-spotting while latte-sipping. Ambling along, visitors may browse the designer boutiques the settle down at quaint restaurants that give the street a classy, privileged atmosphere. Art galleries further color these roads, as do the fashionable people that you are bound to see.
Apgujeong Rodeo Street : Apgujeong is Seoul's luxury fashion mecca. And in the center of Apgujeong's fashion world is Rodeo Street. The name and concept of Apgujeong's Rodeo Street takes after the Beverly Hill fashion street, Rodeo Drive. It's where fashion can be met first and on a daily basis, and where new trends and culture can be experienced. The beginning of Rodeo Street is located across the street from the Galleria Department Store. The entrance of the street is marked with a special archway. Past the archway is a multitude of shops, both featuring fashion from Korean brands and international designer labels. Shopping ranges from the extremely affordable to luxury labels. You can get a t-shirt for as low as 10,000 won, or a designer (phone number hidden) won! The beauty of Rodeo Street is that you can experience all sorts of shopping. Rodeo Street is also filled with cafes, restaurants, and bars, making it fun to visit during the day and at night.
Itaewon: Itaewon is a unique place in Seoul where one can meet people of diverse nationalities and cultures. There is a popular joke saying that international residents may not know Seoul, but they know Itaewon. Seoul even designated Itaewon as its first ‘Special Tourism District,’ to highlight it as a destination for internationals to enjoy a diversity of culture, shopping, and entertainment experiences.

We had a pleasant stay at Chris & Tony's flat for 3 nights. The location of the flat is superb and there are restaurants, bakery and convenient stores downstairs! The flat is very nicely decorated and amenities were so sufficient. Chris & Tony are very friendly host, they responded my requests almost immediately and they would checked on us from time to time to see if we were doing okay! I will recommend my friends to stay at their place if they have chance to travel in Seoul and thank you for your hospitality, Chris & Tony!

Tony is really friendly and patient. He lives up to his moral of providing the best customer service because even after countless change in my plan, he still manage to meet all my requirements by giving me his best solution. Upon reaching he brought us out on a small tour to familiarize with the surrounding.
Best location I could ask for. Central of Seoul with 4-6mins walk away from 2 different subway station. Family mart nearby with 24/7 eatery at level 1 of the building. Really near Myeong-dong as well. Less than 5,000 won per trip.
Totally no communication barrier in terms of English. Apartment is 100% true to pictures. Really clean and beautiful. All necessary amenities were such as shampoo, detergent etc were provided.
Overall, a really good experience there. If I were to go back Korea, I will definitely book this apartment again.

This is our first family trip to Seoul and we were very thankful to have stayed at this apartment. What everyone here said about the hosts and their apartment is totally true. Tony & Christine are not only friendly and well-spoken, they are also very responsive to our mails and are able to answer all our queries. We felt taken care of even before we arrived in Seoul. After 7 nights here, my 2 young boys called this apartment "our Korea home".
The location of this apartment is great. There's a police HQ just round the corner which we felt really safe. We could even walked to Myeongdong. There are many things to see along the way as the surrounding is bustling with activities. The only time we took the subway was to Lotteworld, which is about 45mins from Gyeongbokgung station. Around the vicinity, you'll be spoilt for choices when it comes to food. There's a supermarket just 5mins away. Very convenient indeed.
Just want to thank Tony & Chris for being a great host and for making our trip a memorable one. It's always good to have fun but it's also important to stay in a safe and comfortable place. This apartment is definitely recommended for anyone who plans to visit Seoul. :)

My friends and I, total of four, stay at Christine's apartment from 28 Dec'13 to 5 Jan'14.
On the day we arrive, Tony(Christine's husband) pick us up at the bus stop and bring us to the apartment. Along the way, he show us the supermarket that was located near the apartment and a police station beside. The apartment is 5 mins away from the subway (gyeongbokgung station). There is a 24 hours restaurant at ground level of the apartment. We visited twice for supper. The menu are in Korean, and ajumma (aunty) in store don't speak English. However, they recommend us their ramen and kimbap(sushi roll) and it taste amazing good.
The apartment was clean. Toiletries are provided. Because we stay for 9 days, we bought extra toilet paper to replenish. The loft roof height is short, adult needs to bend down when they are at the loft. There is no problem of kids and young adult but people with back problem such as elderly might not be suitable. If elderly choose to stay here, there is a queen size bed below that can fit 2. On the loft, there is 1 single bed and 1 queen size bed.
Near the apartment there is Gyeongbokgung to visit. For shopping area like Myeongdong etc can be reach via subway.
There is no problem in communication. We spoke to Tony when he fetch us. He speak good English and understand our needs well.

Staying there was really easy and the host speaks perfect English, so communication was very smooth. The host listened to all our wishes and was very kind in preparing the aparment to our needs. Also during the stay we were able to contact them at any time. I like the easy, decent and stylish interiour. Also location is perfect for tourist needs. Warm recommendation.

We, a family of 5 with 3 teenager children, stayed in Tony & Christine's apartment for 4 nights right before the 2013 Xmas. Everything about this experience is A1 from pre-trip communications, greeting by the host at the bus stop, quality and comfort of the apartment, and ongoing support/communication during the stay. The location of the apartment is second to none for people visiting Seoul as tourists. We hope one day we can reciprocate the hospitality when the host family comes visit Canada. Tony and Christine, please be in touch!

Host: Christine & Tony are really friendly and caring host. I booked their apartment 3months before my travel date and since then, Christine has been very helpful giving advises and information. Even after we checked out from the apartment, there's still caring messages received from Tony while we were in Korea.
Apartment: A bright, cozy, clean and beautiful apartment. The apartment is equipped with everything you need so everything is fantastic!
Location: I chosed this apartment as I was travelling with my 2 young children and taking subway to their apartment was really convenient, straight from airport, 8 stops away and right above the exit! The location is really good too as its very centralized and we didn't have to spend a lot of time on subways, everywhere is like minutes away.
We are sad that we didn't get to stay longer because of our followed up ski trip and other itineraries but we will definitely be back! :)
Thank you Christine & Tony! God bless your wonderful family!

Tony and Chris are indeed very nice, responsive and caring couple. Afraid that my mum and I will have difficulties locating the apartment and to help us with our luggage, they are readily set to receive us at the airport limousine bus stop despite of the cold night weather. They have become my family during our 2 weeks stay in this newly set up and nicely decorated with a sense of traditional Korean culture apartment.
My mum and I truly enjoyed our stay in this homely apartment. Not only this apartment is located in a very safe vicinity, it is also easily accessible by subways and buses. On top on this, a number of famous and nice local food/ food alleys such as Toksochon Samgyetang, Gwanghwamun Jip (nice kimchi jjigae and gyeran mari), Kyochon chicken, Sejong Village Food Street, Tong In Market (Dosirak Café), Mad for Garlic etc .. are all within walking distances. For caffeine lovers, this area is no lack of coffee houses!
I would strongly recommend this apartment to one who decides to come to Korea be it for pleasure or business.

Great choice! Stayed there for more than 3 weeks, I've really enjoyed my vacation in Seoul. It was one of the best locations I've ever stayed for either business or pleasure. Within a few blocks, there were almost everything I needed. The room was comfortable and homey. The host responded quickly whenever I contacted. I would stay there again.
