Where to stay in Seoul? How about staying Itaewon?

Today, I will show you the accommodations in Itaewon. Itaewon station belongs to Korean subway line 6. If you want to go to this station, you should transfer at the Gongdeok station. Itaewon station is four stops away from the Gongdeok station. Why people are going to Itaewon? There are many restaurants in various countries including France, China, Thailand, Turkey, Swiss, and so on. So, if you like, you can enjoy various foods in this place. There are also many pubs, lounge bars, and clubs. You can meet other travelers from various countries in there. Therefore, Itaewon is an attractive place for everyone.
