Hannam BnB SeoulShort and long term apartment rentals in Seoul South Korea
Walking Routes to Namsan
Namsan is a great walk! There are beautiful trails and paths, some of which connect to other park systems in the city, there is Namsan Tower, and if you keep walking you will reach Namdaemun Market, downtown Seoul and more.
Naver Map and KakaoMap are indispensable products for getting around Korea, both available as websites and as convenient smartphone apps for iPhones and of course Android. Every visitor to Korea should choose at least one to use. But the software doesn’t always do the best job of showing you all your options for walking from our place to Namsan.
There are at least three “direct” ways (as direct as anything is on the spaghetti streets of Seoul) to reach Sowol-ro (the road that winds alongside the southwest edge of Namsan) from Hannam BnB at Rebekah Court. They range from about half a kilometer to one kilometer. Here are short summaries of three good options, in order from shortest to longest. Click [here] for more details!
The Shortcut
Our favorite way to reach Namsan is a well-manicured path with boardwalks, exercise areas and several staircases – 191 stair steps in total – that starts at Itaewon-ro across the street from the Yongsan Craft Museum, winds behind the Yongsan International School of Seoul and lets out on Sowol-ro just before a parking lot entrance to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The Museum Walk
Kakao is the only app that will show users how to walk through the Samsung Museum’s grounds and behind the Grand Hyatt to reach Sowol-ro. There are no stairs but some of the hills are quite steep. The museum grounds are very nice but there’s nothing at all pleasant about walking behind a major hotel.
The Long Way ‘Round
This is the flattest (and longest!) way to reach similar points on Sowol-ro but it does have one staircase with 39 steps. It’s also probably the least interesting or picturesque. This takes you along a lightly-walked section of Itaewon-ro, under a few highway ramps, then through a poorly tended section of sidewalk at the bottom of Sowol-ro.

Amazing apartment and location, included welcome goodies/eggs/etc on arrival which was great to start off with. Steps away from multiple restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and a convenience store. Neighborhood is very walkable yet quiet in the evening. Was better than many 5* hotels I stayed at in Korea, and one of the best airbnbs I've stayed at. Would highly recommend!

Title: A Perfect Home Away from Home in Seoul! 5 Stars!
As a first-time visitor to Seoul, I was fortunate enough to stay at this wonderful Airbnb, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcomed.
Location:
The location is simply unbeatable! Nestled in the vibrant Hannam district, it's a short walk away from trendy cafes, boutiques, eclectic shops, and nightlife. The easy public transport makes it easy to explore all the major neighborhoods and sights in Seoul.
The apartment itself is beautifully designed and tailored to Western visitors. It’s spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. There is large plenty of natural light. The amenities provided were top-notch. The fast Wi-Fi made it easy to plan our daily adventures and stay connected.
Brad and Sarah were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always just a message away. Truly unforgettable experience. Thank you for a superb visit!

We were there for about 2 weeks and we had a super pleasant time.
The apartment is immaculately clean, Brad thought of everything we could possibly need, it was all very helpful and accommodating. The neighborhood is very nice, lots of young people and with lots of boutiques and restaurants. The subway station is close by as well as a bus station. The hosts answered all questions even before we arrived and were very helpful. Even when looking for a cab to leave, the hosts went out of their way to find one for us even though it was so spontaneous.
We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences we have had. Sarah and David were exceptional hosts, responsive, helpful, friendly and went above and beyond to make our Seoul trip both enjoyable and comfortable.
The unit was spacious, immaculate and well appointed. Upon arrival, bread basket including milk, juice water, coffee/tea was much appreciated. Loved staying in this area filled with cool cafes, bakeries, boutiques and plenty of food options. Easy access by public transport or taxi to see all the major Seoul sights. We loved our stay and will return!

시설도 깨끗하고 넓고 발코니도 있어 격리기간동안 힘들지 않게 잘 지낼 수 있었습니다. 필요한 물품들이 다 준비되어 있었고 도착한 날 몇가지 식재료도 구비되어 있어 유용하게 잘 사용할 수 있었습니다. 사장님께서 너무 친절히 응대해 주셔서 지내는동안 편안하고 즐거웠습니다!
We had an amazing and pleasant time here during our quarantine. The place is very clean and spacious. We especially loved the balcony space, where we could get some fresh air 🙂
The hosts were very kind and giving. Everything was perfectly prepared for our visit.
