[97attendees] Quality of distance to meeting venue

[Sean Leonard <[e-mail]>]

For those who know the area or know what Seoul is like:

What is the "quality" of the experience and distance to the meeting 
venue, from:

Kensington Hotel (16 Gukhoe-daero 76-gil, Yeoeuido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu)

GLAD Hotel (14 Uisadang-daero, Yeongdeungpo-gu)

A few blocks from the hotel (Gukjegeumyung-ro / Gukjegeumyung-ro 7-gil)

Near Mapo Station (across the river)

?

When I say "quality", I mean, how easy and safe is it going to be to get 
back and forth, especially with a piece of luggage and a laptop bag? Is 
the big parkway traversible across any point for free, or does one have 
to walk along Uisadang-daero only to cross? (or take the subway from 
National Assembly to Yeouido)

...bearing in mind that it's mid-November, so it might be cold or rainy. 
My point is that Mapo station or whatever may afford better views, 
cheaper rents, and a direct underground path to the meeting venue if 
it's very rainy.

Regards,

Sean
