I stayed in the officetel right across the main road for 3 months back in March and I knew IMMEDIATELY what house this was when I saw your thumbnail! I love it there! (totally wondered what was behind that cute door. :) Txs for the tour!)
Haha you’re not the only one that was curious. So many times I walk out the door and someone asks me “what’s behind that door?” And I’m awkwardly like uh… a house. 😂
Love the inviting minty colored wooden shutters and door, and brick wall on the outside. I was so looking forward to seeing the interior design of the cute house but was sorely disappointed. The landlord sure has quirky taste 😆 The house lacks sunlight cause you can't really open all the windows without curious passerby peeping in. As someone who loves interior design and decorating, I see so much potential in this cute little house.
Haha yeah it’s very specific not for everyone’s tastes. The alley is actually really private. One side is blocked off and used for storage so no one walk by. The other side is deceptively high up so the window is too high up for people to look in.
Hello David and Kim I loved this house completely. Functional, cozy, neat, and beautiful. You guys just decorate this house with love and care, and live with love. Every house teaches something, gives something. Being in Defense Services my personal experience is that we make every house a home with our love and care with every posting. So I understand it completely😊. Love from India❤😊
It’s ok. Almost every Seoul house tour I’ve seen on YT are young 20s single people living in goshiwons or officetels for much cheaper so I think people aren’t used the price difference. I’m excited to show the apartment we got in Da Nang though which is much much nicer and cheaper 😂
She’s a weird dog she will sunbathe all day but we have to make sure she’s not spending too much time outside. We keep the AC blasting 24/7 at home. She’s lived most of her life in LA and Hawaii so she’s used to the heat
Thank you for the vlog and tour of the neighborhood. My husband and I will be staying in Korea for an extended stay and will be bringing our small puppy. Is there a Korean app that you use to find dog-friendly airbnb accommodations? Thank you in advance.
Airbnb has a pet filter and about 10-15% of the listing in Korea are pet friendly. Small dogs are easy because you can carry them in a carrier in the subway but kakao T (Korea’s Uber) also had a pet taxi option that you can schedule in advance.
@@TravelWithNala Thank you for the info. We do use the pet filter on airbnb here in the States. But I heard there is a Korean app that is similar to the Bring Fido app in which you can filter restaurants, destinations (like parks, National Parks), and hotels. The app is in Korean. I was hoping that you knew the name of that app. But it's good to know that the pet filter on airbnb app works well in Korea. By the way, Nala is beautiful.
@@robinsjoblom ah so you can use Kakao Maps or NAVER Maps. Both are the Korean version of Google Maps. They both have filters for pets allowed. In the younger hip neighborhoods you’ll be surprised how many cafes and shops have big signs outside that say “pets welcome”. In places like Gangnam ppl will look at you like you’re crazy. Regardless of what it says on the map I always walk in first and ask if it’s ok to bring a dog in.
@@TravelWithNala I just found the app I was hoping you used in Korea and wondering about your experience. It's 반려생활 . You might have more options when using it just because it's Korean specific.
@@robinsjoblom I’ve never heard of not personally but NAVER Maps is the Google of Korea and it’s the main app everyone uses in Korea so it will be the most comprehensive.
I just discovered your channel. Good work. Will you do a video on how you sold everything and decided to move to Korea and then Vietnam? Why don't you live in Korea? Perhaps, you're not allowed? Why?
Thanks! Yeah there’s a long story there. I mention it in short in some videos but I’ll make a full video at some point if I think enough ppl are interested
oh yeah the ceiling is high but not THAT high. It's an illusion. The house has a typical triangle sloped rooftop but the front of the house has a wall that goes up high enough to hide the rooftop from the front. If you look from the wide it looks kinda funny
Such cute little house, the interior and its vibe look like those you’d see in kdramas. With so many restos nearby, is the area very noisy? I personally would not choose to live here because of the vibe of the streets (from what you show in the video here) but being in 용산 and close to 이태원 and 한남동, I can see why this could be attractive to some.
It’s surprisingly quite quiet and peaceful. This is not a popular nightlife spot so most of the restaurants actually close early. Most of the drinking spots here are wine bars or Japanese style drinking houses, much calmer vibe. The fun rowdy Korean kkq spots are a block away on the Main Street and the noise doesn’t reach us.
I don't have experience in Japan yet but I'm sure it's similar to Korea where you can specify "western style shower" and more and more places are starting to switch over to what we're used to. Good luck! I still have to mentally prepare myself each time before going in for a shower.
that's such a cute and very unique house for Korea. now that you've moved, is the house only rented out for those business purposes you mentioned? or do you know if it's on Airbnb or something? location seems perfect to me
Now I know why there is a traffic barricade in front of your house. Works better than a cone. Putting gold fish in there is beyond absurd. I have a roughly a 1200 sq ft Koi pond outside with natural rock, waterfull and the works. Maybe he was thinking of putting bettas.
Haha yeah every other house has a cone that’s says “no parking” on it. If we move the barricade for 2 seconds someone will park there and block the door. Wow 1200 sqft pond is amazing! I’m not a fan of sitting water indoors because of mosquitos
1700 US-Dollar very big to rent for the appartement. The Husky dog is cute. Is Not to hot in the summer for the dog. I am from germany. I rent 600 US-Dollar for my appartement. 2 rooms and 1 badroom. With balkon.
Good air conditioning is very important for Nala but she is a weird dog she likes sunbathing all day. We have to force her to come inside where it’s cool. 1700 is a lot but you will always pay more for short term leases. The flexibility is what’s important to us as travelers
I actually prefer Korean style wet bathrooms because you can literally wash everything with soap/cleaner and water. Western bathrooms we need to keep using cleaner and wipe with everything our naked eyes cannot see left on the surface… It’s like forever wiping your ass with wipe and never soap and water bath.. gross
Hmm I’ve actually never seen any rats in the streets anywhere in Seoul. But definitely no rats here. I did cockroaches on the street late at night a couple times but never inside
@@liaahgase1154 There were rats all over the place when I lived in NYC and even in DTLA. I don't know how Seoul stays so clean especially since it's so dense and because of the food disposal system. It's very impressive for sure
😂 it’s not for everyone. It’s a very specific style. “Looks poor” is an interesting description. I don’t like everything about it but I think it has character

Hey David and Kim! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful hidden gem with us.
Hey our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see!
Can’t wait to show you!
This is such a beautiful house ❤
Glad you like it!
Some weird negative comments - that is very cheap for a HOUSE in an expensive city like Seoul.
It’s ok. Almost every Seoul house tour I’ve seen on YT are young 20s single people living in goshiwons or officetels for much cheaper so I think people aren’t used the price difference. I’m excited to show the apartment we got in Da Nang though which is much much nicer and cheaper 😂
Awesome arrangement for that house! Is the "I got kicked out of Korea" video coming? I'm curious haha
Actually I just saw it on your channel - watching now lol
Haha what’s up Zane yeah it’s up on the channel but I’ll probably do a more detailed explanation video at some point.
New subscriber here! Loved yu guys instantly and happy i can be here before the 10K sub mark❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! Hope we can make it 10k one day! Glad you’re here to help part of the journey.
Omg! I stayed on your street in an airbnb! I recognise the streets 😭😭
Cool! It’s a unique area
looks so cool and lot of cozi potential
New subscriber, channel popped up. Can't wait for the new adventures.
Welcome to our channel! Appreciate the sub and glad you’re here to be part of the journey!
Love it! Especially the green tile in the bathroom. But the sewage smell is a deal breaker for me lol.
Hard to avoid that in a lot of places in Korea unfortunately
@@TravelWithNala oh I didn't know that
Hello David n Kim complimenti per la vostra bella casa 👍io aspetto la prossima vostro video ✋ciao da 🇮🇹
thanks! We're a little far from Italy but we plan to hopefully spend a year going throughout Europe as well.
우아 여기가 한국이라구여? 정말 특이하고 이쁘네요
서울에서 이렇게 특이한 집을 처음 봤어요!
How did you flew your big dog from the USA to Asia?
Very unique!
Wow 😍 new subscriber! Hi!👋
Hi! 👋🏼 thanks for the sub!
could you please share your experience of how your dog copes with the heat?
She’s a weird dog she will sunbathe all day but we have to make sure she’s not spending too much time outside. We keep the AC blasting 24/7 at home. She’s lived most of her life in LA and Hawaii so she’s used to the heat
What's the model number on the LG water filter appliance?? I want one!
No idea but I’m sure they all do the trick

Hi, could you please share how you brought your dog and the process to do that?
We used a website called aphis dot usda dot gov for the guide. Each country has different requirements and they lay out everything you need.

It looks high ceiling from looking at the house, but it seems the ceiling is actually not that high inside, right?!

Is that a stove OR counter stove top?
Counter stove
Omg I have OCD and huge germaphobe and I totally get the shower thing. Yuck 😭 I’m moving to Japan and have this same issue lol

I think that it’s going to go on Airbnb now but I’m not sure yet
Does it taste better as it gets older?
😳
Is there mosquitoes year round?
Not in the winter time
quaint home
Quaint and charming imo

Sounds like you were paying over market for this place. It is too bad. I am a Seoulite for the last several decades.
Month to month leases are expected to be higher than normal. what do you think would be the normal price for a place like this?

Western bathrooms we need to keep using cleaner and wipe with everything our naked eyes cannot see left on the surface…
It’s like forever wiping your ass with wipe and never soap and water bath.. gross
I don’t mind wet rooms as long as there’s some separation or divider between the shower
$4272.60 American $
it looks like a brazilian house 😅
oh cool! I've never seen a Brazilian house before
You guys don’t have any socials??
Just IG issadavidp we’ve both pretty inactive on any other social media
@@TravelWithNala thanks!!!
Fish bowl? So unnecessary and takes up space.
😂 you and me are on the same page
This house is besides cafe and restaurant , I wonder if there is any rat coming into the house ?
Hmm I’ve actually never seen any rats in the streets anywhere in Seoul. But definitely no rats here. I did cockroaches on the street late at night a couple times but never inside
haha, what a imagination!
Happy to know that Seoul is so clean. Some cities in Ontario, Canada have rats running around near restaurant areas.
@@liaahgase1154 There were rats all over the place when I lived in NYC and even in DTLA. I don't know how Seoul stays so clean especially since it's so dense and because of the food disposal system. It's very impressive for sure

😂 it’s not for everyone. It’s a very specific style. “Looks poor” is an interesting description. I don’t like everything about it but I think it has character
I guess you don't speak Koreand and don't have Korean friends at all. The house you show in this video is very uncommon style and very airbnb place.
Lmfao I speak Korean and I have a lot of Korean friends. I say in the video that this is a very unusual house and different from normal Korean houses
