    If you want a fantastic homestay, go to Ms. Lee and Mr. Shin's hanok! The stay with Ms. Lee and Mr. Shin was beyond our high expectations. An organic and always different Korean breakfast every morning. They showed us beautiful walks, nice places...

Byungun Lee
This is the actual home of a Korean family. It is located in the center of Seoul near Gyeongbokgung Palace. The house is a hanok (traditional Koean house), with modern western convenience.
I was born in Seoul, so am a real Seoulite. I'm very proud of it. As I grew older I realized that Seoul is such a beautiful city with many historical stories. I love to walk around many Palaces or Inwansan trail near my house. I cook and talk about traditional foods, singing Pansori, and how to wear the Hanbok (Korean costume) See you soon.
This place is called Seochon, a quiet neighborhood near Gyeongbokgung Palace that survived throughout 600-year history of the Joseon Dynasty. Here has been, and still is home to many artists. Seochon is also home to numerous restaurants and fancy shops and offers easy access to public transportation.
