My stay at Hongdae Kim's House was quite the mixed bag. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from Hongdae, which made exploring the area super convenient. However, I faced significant discomfort due to the lack of air conditioning during a hot six-day stay. The mosquitoes also made it difficult to relax, even with the windows open.

I stayed at Hongdae Kim'S House for six days, and while the location was excellent, being so close to Hongdae, my experience was quite challenging. The lack of air conditioning made my return from the sweltering heat unbearable, and the mosquito issue at night only added to my discomfort. Additionally, I had hoped for three rooms on the same floor but it wasn't possible. The inability to pay by card upon arrival was another unexpected inconvenience.

I stayed at Hongdae Kim's House for six days, and while it was conveniently located near Hongdae, there were several issues that marred my experience. The biggest problem was the lack of air conditioning, which made returning to the room after being out unbearable in the heat. Additionally, I was unable to get three rooms on the same floor as requested. Overall, it was a mixed stay with a few redeeming qualities, but I left feeling frustrated. 😓

I stayed for five nights at Hongdae Kim's House. the location was definitely a highlight, being so close to Hongdae. but I had some issues with my stay as well. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning during my visit, which made it uncomfortable returning from the heat outside. I also had trouble with room arrangements and payment options at check-in.
