This house truly boasts a stunning view. If you make a cup of coffee and sit on the balcony chair, it becomes the ultimate cafe with a view. Since Busan’s temperature is on average about 5 degrees warmer than Seoul's, it seems like a better choice than Jeju for a month-long winter stay to escape the cold.
The neighborhood feels open and tranquil, much like an American suburb. However, transportation is quite convenient, as it is only a 30-minute drive or 30 to 40 minutes by bus (Routes 100 and 181) from the bustling downtown area of Haeundae.
For those who enjoy walking, here is a tip: Songjeong Beach is just a 20-minute walk from the house, where the Blue Line Beach Train Songjeong Station is located. Except on major holidays, you can easily purchase same-day tickets. With this ticket, you can go to the Beach Train Mipo Station, spend time in Haeundae, and then walk in the opposite direction along the boardwalk built alongside the train tracks to return to Songjeong Beach in about an hour and a half. I highly recommend walking along this boardwalk if you visit Busan. The scenery is beautiful, and the layout is well-designed, with stairs running along the way that allow you to stop by cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood below. Additionally, there is a large outlet mall just a 5-minute walk from the house, which was great for shopping and spending time there on rainy days. Across from the outlet mall is a furniture outlet where you can purchase not only furniture but also luxury tableware at discounted prices. It was also convenient that there is a well-maintained path leading from the furniture outlet to the subway station. Passing through the passageway connected to the furniture outlet leads to Lotte World; if you are traveling with children, it appeared uncrowded, making it a great place to visit without having to wait in long lines, and the large indoor sports facilities were also very well-equipped.
The house was clean and in good condition, and all the necessary household items were thoughtfully prepared, so there was no inconvenience in cooking. The host always responded to my questions quickly and treated me kindly, so I had a very comfortable stay for three weeks. If I visit Busan again, I would like to stay here again.
