It is said that Korean novelist Yoon Hu-myeong also appreciated the structure of the guesthouse, saying, “It is an interesting place.” Built in the 1930s, the house, which has many storage places, was taken by the owner couple in spring 2014 as they were attracted by the house during their trip to Seochon. After the repair work, the ground floor of the house was opened for guests from January 2016, hoping that guests could share their daily experiences and stories with each other. The guestrooms and the main floored room on the ground floor are open to guests, with the exception of the first floor, which is used by the owner couple. The living room is equipped with books, a curved TV, and a table. The tasty meal, which is served in the kitchen, consists of rice and soup with six side dishes and is much loved by guests. The guesthouse offers a total of four rooms – Jae Room, which is the most Korean-style room; Mi Room, which has a combined style of a Korean-style room and Western-style room; Nan Room, which is an ideal room for meditation with a beautiful paper window; and Ahn Room, which is equipped with a veranda and a pretty flowerbed. Every room has its separate charm with various comfortable bedding to provide a quiet and cozy bedroom for guests in the middle of the city. Furthermore, the guesthouse holds a pansori (epic chant) performance twice a year. The owner started learning how to sing pansori to promote the Korean culture and tradition to foreigners.

El barrio de Buam-dong, situado en Jongno-gu, Seúl, tiene aspectos del pasado mezclados con el ambiente sofisticado de Samcheong-dong. En sus calles curvadas se encuentran museos, cafeterías y restaurantes modernos junto con molinos y peluquerías de los años 60 o 70 del siglo XX. Originalmente, era un lugar tranquilo con viviendas de pintores, escritores, profesores y otros artistas que vivían con sus pasos pausados; pero recientemente ha ganado la popularidad por ser lugar de rodaje de la telenovela "Cafetería el Príncipe Nº1" (se encuentra aquí la casa de Choi Han-seong) y se ha llenado de cafeterías y tiendas comerciales con diseños únicos. Es una de las tres zonas de moda junto con Samcheong-dong y la calle Garosu-gil de Sinsa-dong.
