I decided to stay for two weeks and chose Sokcho over Gangneung or Yangyang. I booked this place on Liv after searching for a spot that wasn't too noisy and had an ocean view.
Honestly, I wanted to book it the moment I saw it, but I hesitated quite a bit because the price was a bit higher than other places. However, once I arrived, I realized that my worries were unfounded. First of all, the actual place looks exactly like the photos. I will never forget the sound of the waves I heard from the accommodation.
There are so many unique foods in Sokcho that I don't think I need to introduce any specific ones, but there are a few Korean restaurants serving set meals that open early in the morning around Jangsa Port. I had breakfast there, switching up the menu each time.
I enjoy taking walks, so I walked around Yeongnangho Lake almost every day. It took exactly one hour to cross the bridge halfway through the lake and arrive back at the accommodation.
The whole neighborhood is quiet on weekdays, but the number of people at the accommodation increased significantly on weekends. There is an LP cafe next to the Pocha Street; although the prices are a bit high, the atmosphere is nice, so it is worth visiting. Since Sokcho is a compact city, you can get anywhere quickly.
Before I left, the host told me it was fine to come empty-handed. I didn't believe them and packed all sorts of things, but it turned out I really didn't need them. Everything you need is provided. If you happen to need anything, just let the host know and they will bring it to you right away.
Oh, the bedding is in excellent condition, and there are plenty of towels. I was actually surprised to find cleansing foam there. The refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer are all clean. I was worried about the soundproofing, but once the door is closed, you can't hear a single sound—not even the waves. The soundproofing is excellent.
I don't know when it will be, but if I ever come back, I think I would stay at this accommodation again.
Actually, this trip held great significance for me. That is why the accommodation was important to me, and it was a great choice.
I am leaving with wonderful and happy memories. ^^
