Excellent stay house in the center of Seoul. The neighborhood is very very nice!
Fabulous fully equipped kitchen!! Very Clean and modern! Walkable to main areas like the Seoul tower and the cable car. Subway station 1 block from the Urbanstay meyongdong to go to the airport and railroad station. 1 block in opposite direction for the subway to go to the Gyeongbok Palace and Bukchon Village!! Awesome location. Near many restaurants and walkable to main areas. We had the Panama view room worth the extra money! Thank you Urbanstay meyongdong location for providing an excellent accommodation in Seoul. Best regards Lovette Davis

Overall it was pretty good but it was public holiday weekend so all restaurants around here were closed
Cleaning was not done properly so I found someone’s socks in the washing machine and wall was cracked in the corner
Other than that it was great and well structured comfy one room studio room

Quiet, clean, contactless, washing machine, close to subway stations and restaurants. The room is small but the space available is big enough for a full luggage set. Plenty if cabinets to store your clothes. Couldn't have booked a better place!
Had in unit clothes washer, and easy access to the subway system. A little bit challenging in terms of communication but given the nature of being a foreigner.

I stayed there this summer and had issues because I placed my luggage in the wrong storage room. I called their help line and a really nice guy came to help me within quite a fast amount of time. If it were not for him, I would have missed my flight! Great place, people to help if needed and no face to face check in which is great for introverts of foreigners like me!

Moldy smell and bad room condition
The room was in a pretty bad shape, it wasnt clean and there was a moldy smell from the non-cooling aircondition.
Overall not a great night, there was also a random dirty pot in the kitchen?
We came from another room in the same building which was way way better than this one.
Very disappointed

i booked it last minute so didnt have time for extensive research. but that turned out to be no problem. the facility is impeccably maintained, the room design is light and airy, the location is fantastic near 2 subway stations. despite having no face to face contact with any staff, their online chat was super helpful and easy to use. i definetly recommend it

I love the unit very much. Near to the Chungmuro (Line 4) Station Exit 7, about 5 mins walk. The entrance of the building is at the side. (Namsan Central View Suite). Several Convenience stores are nearby, if you want some soju at night. Room is very clean and comfy. Please take note that they will only clean the room after every 3 nights, so please take care of your own hygiene. You can sort out the trash and take it to Level 1 to throw away.

The main thing we didn’t understand: lived there for a week (7 nights) and got no cleaning/housekeeping at all. No bedsheets or towels changed. And there was no broom/mop or cleaning amenities to do it by yourself.
Pros:
- location
- the view from the apt. 1201 was great
- overall condition, cleanliness, attention to details
Cons:
- lack of instructions about everything around, shops food etc
- no garbage bags
- the bed is wrapped into a plastic wrap. Each movement makes it
