Neighbourhood
The location is excellent — just a 3-minute walk from Songpanaru Station (Line 9).
From here, you can take the regular subway (10 stops) to reach Sinnonhyeon Station (Gangnam area) in about 30 minutes.
Or, for a faster ride: transfer to the express train at Seokchon Station (just 1 stop away), and it’s only 4 express stops to Sinnonhyeon — taking around 15–20 minutes in total.
Lotte World and the popular Lotte World Mall, perfect for shopping and entertainment, are within walking distance.
Step right outside the door and explore Bang-i Market, the vibrant Bang-i Food Alley, and Songnidan-gil — a trendy neighborhood full of charming cafes and excellent local restaurants. It’s a wonderful area to experience authentic Seoul life!
Getting to my home
The easiest way to reach the home from Incheon International Airport is by taking the AREX express train to Seoul Station, then transferring to Line 9 (gold line) and riding directly to Songpanaru Station. The total journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Alternatively, airport limousine buses are available to the Songpa area and take about 70–80 minutes. Taxi service from the airport is also convenient and takes approximately 60–70 minutes, depending on traffic.
Nearest airport
Incheon International Airport (ICN) — approximately 60 km away, about 1 hour by car or 70 minutes by public transport.
Gimpo International Airport (GMP) — approximately 35 km away, about 40 minutes by car or public transport.
Getting Around
You can easily explore the neighborhood on foot — Bang-i Market, Bang-i Food Alley, Songnidan-gil, and Lotte World Mall are all within walking distance.
The nearby Songpanaru Station (Line 9) gives you quick access to Seoul’s top attractions and neighborhoods. Gangnam is just 20–30 minutes away by subway.

Hi! I’m Bo from Seoul, South Korea. I recently left my job to take a long trip across Europe — mainly France and Scotland — and explore more of this beautiful world. I’m a huge travel lover (I’ve visited over 20 countries so far!) and always excited to meet new people and experience local life.
FYI: I don’t smoke, and I’m naturally very clean and organized. I always make sure to leave the space as tidy and clean as when I arrived — or even better! I truly respect the home and the effort that hosts put into welcoming guests.
💬 Your Korean Teacher
I’m fluent in English and, of course, Korean. If you’d like, I can teach you some Korean and share more about Korean culture. And if you’re curious about Asian culture in general, I’d love to exchange ideas! Also — if you ever visit Korea, I’d be happy to be your guide and local friend. You’re even welcome to stay at my place when you come!
🍸 Cocktails & Bartending
I hold a bartending certificate (as a hobby), and I really enjoy making cocktails or highballs with good local spirits. If we meet, I’d love to make you a drink and share a nice conversation!
🗺 My Europe Trip Plan
I’ll be attending a perfume summer school in Grasse, France — perfume making is one of my passions! I’m also planning to visit whisky distilleries in Scotland, as I’m a big whisky fan. Along the way, I hope to explore many other beautiful cities and towns in Europe.
🤝 Let’s Connect!
If you enjoy travel, local culture, good conversation, cafes, or cocktails, I think we’d get along well! I’m also very clean, organized, and always do my best to leave spaces tidy and well cared for.
Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully sharing good times and stories together! 😊
