What is Songpa like? Is it in central Seoul? Is that a good thing?? I know it's in the east, does that make it difficult to get to?
Any opinions to help me get an idea of Songpa will be appreciated...

Not central Seoul. Nice area, used to live there, just hope to God you're not working for a Kathleen Lee.

Look for Songpa on the pink line. You can get subway times between any two points.

I work in Songpa. It's in the extreme southeast part of the city. It's a pretty nice area of the city. Good access to Costco, Homever, HomePlus, Kim's Club for most things from home. TGIFriday, Sizzler for foreign restaurants. Depending on where in Songpa you are, Gangnam is close for nightlife.

The subway system in Seoul is excellent, so getting to other parts of the city is easy. Dong-Seoul Bus Terminal is close by, so leaving the city is also easy.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
