This is my mom’s primary home located in Seoul Korea. Home is free standing home( it’s hard to find free standing home because most are apartments complex in Korea due to high home price) located in one of the best neighborhood called Song-Pa. Gang-nam and Song-pa is located next to each other and two are the most affluent and best residential area Seoul. You probably know the famous song “gang-nam style” :)
My mom visits us to US or we often travel together so her home will be available for PLU for 2-6 months depending on years.
A minute from subway and bus stop by walk and easy highway access. Song- pa is well known for most beautiful parks and lake. the worldest 5th tallest Lotte tower and lotte amusement( worldest large indoor amusement park), aquarium, mega shopping centers, massive Olympic park, duty free shops beautiful lake are all within 20mins away from our home. Lots of parks and amazing restaurants. Home is also 5mins to one of the beautiful mountain and close to everything!
Seoul has best public transportation system in the world ( affordable and clean) Subway will take you everywhere in Korea so you don’t need a car. Also fast speed train and bus will take you to suburban and country sides as well. UNESCO Jeju island is highly recommend and it’s 50mins flight from Seoul

Notes
This free standing 3 story building home. We owned this building and my mom lives on 2nd floor ( you have to walk up 20 steps to 2nd floor). Two other home in ground level and one in 1st floor are all occupied with long term tenants.
Home itself is nothing fancy but clean and we recently renovated with fresh coat of paints, wall papers, floor, new bathroom.
NOTE : for back to back exchange while my mom is away - We need your help with wash towels, beds sheet that you that you used and make beds after your stay for next PLU guests as we won’t be around. We will have extra bed sheets to you to make beds for next guests.
Home is a small, very easy to clean. If you can’t make beds due to early departure we’ll have extra washed sheet for you to simply make beds and strip your beds sheets, please discuss with prior to your stay.
Thanks
