My wife and I run a guesthouse (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1413026) in Hongdae, the vibrant university area of Seoul. We also have a cafe/bar downstairs - https://www.facebook.com/englishstudykorea/ (and a rooftop beer garden for BBQs & beers) where guests will have a great chance to meet locals and learn about Korea and probably also arrange for a personal tour around town. We have a few different events there, also, for travellers and locals to meet and make friends -
