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.

This was our second year in a row staying with Brad and HannamBnB. Brad is an incredible host. He’s always friendly, quick to respond, and super accommodating. Staying in Hannamdong is a great, central location. There are tons coffee shops, stores, it’s close to Itaewon and easily accessible to all the other neighborhoods we visited.
The apartment is clean, comfortable and perfect for our family. He was accommodating with check in and check out. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Thank you again, Brad!

I truly enjoyed staying at Hannam BNB ("HBNB") during my 14-day quarantine in March, 2021. The hosts, furnishing, and all little details were top notch. The hosts, Brad and Sarah, promptly responded to my questions. They put sincere effort to fulfill my requests as well. The furnishing of the unit was thoughtfully installed. My three most favorite parts were 1. heating/insulation, 2. clean bathroom with a bathtub and a washer/dryer combo, 3. a comfortable bed and double layer curtains for keeping the ambient light out. One example for the little details is a table with two chairs on the balcony. Having fresh air outside without violating the quarantine is, quite simply, a luxury.
I would definitely come back here for both quarantine and staycation in the future!

This place is very convenient to public transportation, just 4-5 minutes from Hangangjin Station and bus stops. The host is super attentive. Instruction book on how to use appliances, live at this apartment are very easy to follow. I would recommend this house for anyone traveling in a huge group of people or for family. And the cooking appliances include various pan and grill to a rice cooker which is a very big plus for us with 6 family members.

We moved to Korea from China. We booked this AirBnB Hannam place to use for our 14 days quarantine and few additional weeks to allow us to get settle and look for a home to live in eventually. During our stay at Hamman place, both Sarah and Brad (the hosts), made this experience and transition much easier than what we expected. This started even before we arrived. We were contacted by Sarah and Brad to make sure everything we needed in the place is ready and prepared for our stay. they shared so much information about what are the expectations before our arrival, during our stay, and after the fact. As we arrived, they offered their help to get us situated in the place. The readiness, cleanness, and welcome gifts were much appreciated. The place/unit itself was "outstanding" to say the least. After the quarantine was over, both Sarah and Brad were extremely helpful by providing the assistance to follow the process and make sure we took care of all the steps and expectation from the health deportment to end the quarantine. I would like to add, the responsiveness, help, and hospitality was 2nd to none. As for the unit itself, fully equipped, relaxing, and comfortable. We highly recommend this place to anyone for short or long stays. I would like to conclude by saying THANK YOU for an outstanding hospitality as you made this place feels like home.

I feel lucky to find the right place to live in. Brad is a responsible and caring host, he welcome us with warm, kind, open hearted manners. We felt home when he already bought for us a lot of big bottle of waters, eggs, bread… He’s always online when we need to ask something. The apartment was clean and big, there were all kind of machines like dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker… that we need.
There are a lot of restaurants, coffee bars, shops nearby.
Highly recommended!
