7 Near-Station Residences for a 1-Month Stay in Seoul, Plus Orakai Insadong Suites

For a 1-month stay in Seoul, the basic criteria is choosing a residence with a kitchen and washing machine that's within walking distance of a station. Long Weekend Haus DDP, near Euljiro 4(sa)-ga Station and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, has self-catering facilities in all 12 rooms, and any guest count over the base occupancy can be adjusted at 10,000 won per person per night (confirmed on the official site as of 2026-09-14). We line up 7 facilities that can be compared under the same criteria: walking minutes from the nearest station, room type, rate, and facilities.

Euljiro Co-Op Residence

Euljiro Co-Op Residence is located in the Euljiro area, a 3-minute walk from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (subway lines 2, 4, and 5). Rooms are studios with a kitchenette equipped with a microwave and electric stove, with a reference rate from about 60,645 won per night (official booking site, observed 2026-09-18).

• A 3-minute walk to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, with an Airport Limousine Bus No. 6001 stop right in front of the property.
• The kitchenette includes a microwave, electric stove, and refrigerator.
• There is a 24-hour fitness center.

Rooms do not have a washing machine; the design relies on coin-operated washers and dryers in the building. Cleaning for long-term guests is offered only 3 times a week.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP has 12 rooms (101 to 702) within walking distance of Euljiro 4(sa)-ga Station and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, in the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) area.
