Comfortable, Spacious and Affordable Airbnb + Packing for Korea 舒适宽敞实惠住宿 + 到首尔到底带了什么?


Really loved how convenient my 2nd Airbnb was and following after, determined and glad that I found another listing at this location for my 3rd trip! Bigger, better and at a lower rate! It is near to the bus station and subway station. Ground floor is 24hrs convenience store, and many shops and malls are just walking distances away! The room fits 4 instead of 2, so it is actually a lot cheaper if you were to divide by the number of pax. The room is also better furnished and newer, as compared to the previous listing I stayed in. HOWEVER, it got booked 2 months before my trip! Damn!

还记得上一次的住宿是多么的方便,于是这次决定在同样的地区找类似住宿,结果真的让我找到了!这个住宿比之前的更大,更好,更便宜!又靠近巴士站,又靠近地铁站。1 楼是 24 小时便利商店,附近也有许多购物商场和摊位。这住宿可容纳 4 个人,所以和之前的 2 人房相比便宜许多。房间布置设备也比较新,五脏俱全。可是,就在离我出国的两个月前被人订去了!可恶!

Luckily I was able to find this listing at Yongsan instead. It is walking distance to Yongsan Station and I'park Mall - a really huge mall with almost everything that you need; which makes it really convenient as well. Everything was pretty much the same, but this listing is EVEN MORE spacious than the one I found located at Dongdaemun, at the SAME rate! This room accommodates 4pax as well, so it makes it even more worth it! At SGD89.50 per night (includes cleaning fees and service charges), that is SGD22 per pax, per night!! You get almost everything that you will need! There is just the 2 of us, so we get a double bed each! ✌🏻

幸好找啊找,终于在龙山区(Yongsan)找到另一个住宿。这住宿离龙山站和 I'park 购物商场 - 超大商场,要什么有什么,超方便 - 步行就到。这住宿大概和我之前在东大门区找到的相同,同价却更加宽敞!一样可容纳 4人,所以相比来说,很值得!每晚只需新币 89.50 元(包括清理费和服务费)每人每晚只需付新币 22 元!,五脏俱全,去那里找?只有我们母女两,所以各一张双人床!✌🏻

This listing includes the following 这住宿包括以下:

- 2 queen sized beds 两张双人床

- Large windows 大窗户

- Fan and air-conditioner 电风扇,冷气

- In-house WIFI 房内 WIFI

- Cabled TV 有线电视

- Dining table and utensils for 4 四人用的餐桌和餐具

- Stove 火炉

- Pots and pans 锅

- Microwave oven 微波炉

- Toaster 烤面包机

- Kettle 电水壶

- Fridge 冰箱

- Required cleaning agents and toiletries 所需的清洁剂和洗护用品

- Wardrobe and hangers 衣柜和衣架

- Washing machine 洗衣机

- Massager 按摩器

This is taken from the window of my apartment. As you can see, I'park Mall is really really near to where we are staying, around 5mins walk? And those are the train tracks of Yongsan Station, which brings you to other cities.

以上照片是从我住宿窗口拍摄到。可以清楚看到 I'park Mall 真的离我住的地方非常近,步行大约 5 分钟就到。然后 1 楼就是火车轨道,可到其它市区。

I really really love the fact that most Airbnb listings come with a washer, and if you are lucky, a dryer as well. It allows me to bring much lesser clothes, just have to wash to rewear them, then mix and match to create new looks! Currently, it is winter turning spring, and Jeju's first bloom happens to be during my trip! Seoul will be 1 to 2 weeks later. Temperature is on an average of 10degC, and can go as low as ZERO on rainy days. So, for this 8-day trip, I brought with me 4 tops, 3 bottoms, 3 outerwear and 1 down jacket. And of course, some accessories...

非常喜欢大多数的 Airbnb 住宿都备有洗衣机,幸运的话还会有烘干机。出国时不必带太多衣服,可以随时洗过再从穿。带容易混搭的衣服就能配搭出许多不一样的照型!目前首尔是冬季转春的时候,济州正好是在我这次去的时候开花,首尔就迟 1 到 2 星期。天气温度平均 10 度,下雨天可降到 0 度。所以这次的 8 天旅程带了 4 件上衣,3 件裤,3 件外套和 1 件冬衣。当然也带了些首饰。。。

First row, left to right:

Red Mickey Shirt from H&M, Black NYC Shirt from H&M, White Waffle Sweater from Uniqlo, Navy Striped Sweater from Uniqlo, Maroon Faux Fur Jacket from Forever 21

Second row, left to right: Polka Dots Sweatpants from Taobao, Blue Pants from H&M, Navy Culottes from H&M, Grey Long Cardigan from H&M, Mixed Feather Necklace from Taobao, White Fur Shoes from Taobao, Rose Hoodie from Off-White.

I really love this pair of shoes! It is lined with a layer of comfortable cotton lining which helps to keep your feet warm in the cold weather! I sprayed the shoes with a layer of waterproof chemical so they stay clean and white for a long time!

超爱超爱这双鞋!内里是一层非常舒服的棉,再冷天气里可以保温。鞋子喷上了一层防水剂,这样子鞋子就能长时间保持白白干净!
