I think it is easy to get there. I was chatting to a girl in Incheon airport last summer who was shocked I lived in Yeonsu (I actually said Yeosu which is on the south coast) and had never visited Seoul Smile

It is excellent. It's definitely got a more residential feel than a lot of other places you'll find. It's also a lot nicer than the older parts of Incheon (a lot of the coastal part of the city north of Yeonsu is absolute garbage)

There's Lotte Mart, E-mart, a convenience store every 20 meters, movie theaters, restaurants everywhere. Essentially all of your daily needs are covered. Shinsaegae and Lotte Department Store are ~10 minutes by subway.

There are buses (9200, M6405, 9201, 1300, 1301(this bus might be no more) that go to Seoul. On average you're looking at a little over an hour to an hour and a half bus ride to Seoul. There are also several subway stations for the Incheon metro (most of which are in Songdo).
