Airbnb Alternatives in Seoul: 2026 Guide
Do you enjoy cooking while traveling or need extra space for your family? Serviced apartment offer the perfect solution, and many travelers think of Airbnb first.
But here's what's changed: South Korea's 2025 crackdown on unregistered Airbnbs means potential complications for guests. Last-minute cancellations, no luggage storage before check-in, and navigating narrow alleyways with kids or heavy bags have become common frustrations.
