The price that we paid for the room is worth it because the room is indeed spacious. It has a sofa, kitchen & washer and the bathroom is also big. A drawback however, is the location. It is not located along the main street. It is okay to walk during the day to the subway and it is pretty fun because you walk through Chungbu Market on your way to the subway. But it is dark at night with few street lamps and the shops (mainly hardware & furniture shops) are closed. One way to overcome is to take the cab. The charge when you hop on board is 2,400W (about S$2.80) and we mostly paid about 2,800W per trip from Dongdaemun. Don't try to take cab around midnight because the cab drivers will not fetch you. They will tell you to walk instead.
Co-op Residences is the closest to Dongdaemun, and next is Western Co-op Residences.
The staff speak reasonable english and are able to help with offering directions.
Tip: buy titbits from the market. It is much much cheaper.
