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.

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.

This was my first time back in Seoul in 21 years and we had a great time staying here. Tony was very helpful and nice. He was very quick to respond to any request and had suggestions for traveling to and from the airport. We even received souvenirs before getting into our taxi. I highly recommend Hannam's place.

The place is amazing for a group of up to six people!
The apartment got a luxurious feel to it, it’s quite cozy and spacious and has all the amenities we needed during our one-week stay. The neighborhood is perfect: popular with locals, featuring numerous cafés and shops, yet it hardly attracts any tourists!
Brad is a very charismatic person and an excellent host, quick to reply and resolve all our requests!
10/10 would recommend!:)

My wife and I along with our 3 kids stayed here for 4 weeks and it was awesome! The location in Hannam was ideal. The unit was perfect and very comfortable for our family. Everything was clean and in working order. AC in each room was a lifesaver since we stayed in July/August. Brad and Sarah were the best hosts! They met us when we arrived (optional) to help us check in and show us where everything was and how everything worked. They communicated very well and always promptly. They knew we were coming from a 12 hour flight so they had all of the essentials and some extras in the unit waiting for us. They even had eggs, butter, bread, OJ, bottled water and more. There were some things I forgot to pack that they graciously loaned me. They really went above and beyond and they truly helped make our trip to Korea unforgettable!
