Myself and another guy who lives a decent hike from Seoul are looking for a nice monthly goshiwon to go halfsies on, a nice little home-away-from home that's more convenient than a jjimjilbang but cheaper than a hotel.

What are some good ones in or near Itaewon? Directions and landmarks are appreciated.

There is on on the top floor of the building at the corner of Hooker Hill and the street What the book is on. I think it is above a bar called maybe American Eagle.

I went up there once. I think it is 300,000 a month. They were rather uh... conservative in attitude.

There is or was one advertising in the Itaewon subway station as well.

Unfortunately, there aren't many decent goshiwons in Itaewon. Have a look at this website...

http://www.gosi1.net/subway/subwaysearch.php3

Click on the subway station you desire to find a list of goshiwons nearby.

Areas with many university students (like Shinchon), have many more, much nicer goshiwons...

Be forwarned that some/most of the photos on the site are taken when the goshiwon was new... you may be surprised at the conditions when you actually visit the gosiwon.
