Residence Unicorn in Dongdaemun

There’s lots of room, and the place has everything you might need. It’s a short ride out from the main city, which worked well for transport, and the area feels lovely and different. Pony was a huge help with both arrival and departure. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

I booked at the last minute, and the flat itself is pretty nice, though some things were a hassle. The owner controls the heating, and the place can get quite cold. There’s no separate shower space from the toilet, which gets annoying. It’s also a bit of a trek to the metro and the airport bus stop, especially with lots of bags. For what you get, I found it somewhat expensive.

The room was roomy, with floor heating and a washer. It’s outside the tourist areas, but the bus stop is just a few feet away. Across the street at Hwanghak Lotte Castle Condominium, there’s a large grocery store with a Sauna, which was handy. Ponny also lent me her pocket wifi so I could get online while exploring. I had booked Ponny's room for April 10-25, hoping to add two days, but I was hospitalized on April 24 and had to end my trip early. Ponny and her father took me to KNU Anam Hospital, and she kept checking in to see how I was doing. She’s very friendly and easy to talk to. I’m so grateful to Ponny and Ponny's Appa, and I hope they’re blessed abundantly. It was the best two-week solo trip I’ve had, and I’d book with her again when I return to Seoul.

There were plenty of places to eat, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. The hotel was clean and nicely decorated, and its layout made it easy to get plenty of rest. It had a fridge and stove if you want to cook, and the toiletries smelled really nice and seemed good quality. A bus stop is right outside, and the hotel is close to lines 1, 2, and 6. The owner was very friendly and gave us a lot of help on the day we arrived and when we left.
