|
|
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.
