Seoul Loft Apartments / SLA 7 night minimum

We planned to be in Seoul 5 weeks and were looking for a place centrally located for day to day activities and near transportation for excursions around the country. First and foremost I must mention Mr. Lee. I am sure the spelling is not right but that is Singba Lee or in Korea I think it is Lee Singba. Anyway, anytime we entered or left he would greet us with a smile and could he help with anything. Second is Dennis Mitchell. We corresponded with him for a few weeks getting the accommodations organized and then had the opportunity to visit with him several times during our trip. I am older and anytime he saw me with bags going up the stairs he would assist. Yes there are stairs but it is only one flight. I have stayed all over the world and the difference of the experience is always the people you interact with. In this case the staff, including the cleaning lady, were spectacular but the accommodations were great as well. We were three adults and two 7 year old twins. Rather than getting the much more expensive room, we were able to get a room and they provided a floor bed we could use. Room included a washing machine and drying rack. We washed frequently and could have brought half the clothes that we did. Also a small kitchenette but we never actually used the cook top. Microwave, fridge and coffee pot we used daily. In the first few days, we had a small leak in the bathroom by the sink and it was fixed before the day was over. These things happen, even at home so no big deal. There is a rooftop area that we went up to a couple times to look over the streets and let the kids run around. I could see going up there with my wife at night and enjoying a good bottle of wine if we didn't have the kids along. Overall, this was a great experience and we are already talking about when we can return to Seoul, stay here of course, and see Mr. Lee and Dennis again. I will add we used the buses extensively and there are three stops within a couple blocks depending on where you are going. One is in front of the SLA entrance. Also, several good restaurants nearby and one right next door. A convenience store across the street which we frequented almost daily.

I don't usually take the time to leave a review, but our family wanted to let others know that this was a great place to stay. This was our first visit to Korea, and the staff were very helpful. They responded quickly to email inquiries and were very accommodating. We had a family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Upon arrival, they gave us great tips for the area. All the staff spoke excellent English. Our room had a great view of queen's palace grounds. There is a Korean restaurant right next to the apartment, which was great for takeout. A little grocery store is right around the corner. The walk to the subway is pleasant and quiet as you can walk through the hospital. Gwangjang Market is in walking distance. There is a university nearby and street food along that street (near the subway). We were very happy with our stay here!

Seoul loft apartment :: Very nice furnished and stylist room deco with good hospitality. Feels like living in my home and so comfy. I lived there for 3months and all the staffs are very helpful and nice. At the night time, chill at balcony with a warm coffee and view the stars of Seoul sky is one of my favorite part too.
