Where to stay in Seoul? How about staying near Korean subway line 4? - Using Airbnb

How do you book your accommodations? You may book your accommodations using various online accommodation booking websites including hotels.com, booking.com, expedia, and so on. Recently, Airbnb is growing fast among the online accommodation booking websites. I have also booked accommodations using this website when I went to the trip to Japan, Austrailia, and USA. The most adavantage of using Airbnb is that you can book almost anywhere you want. When I went to the San Diego in USA, I searched the accommodations using well known booking websites such as booking.com. It was showed that the accommodations are far from my destination and expensive. But, when I searched the accommodations using Airbnb, I could find the right place. It was near my destination and moderate prices.
