At least with respect to the protests and such. I also loved DDP! The LED rose garden at night is such a treat. Seoul tower was also hazy when I was there (probably 2pm-5pm). Overall I just really liked the ambiance. Did you check out the Han river? There are some nice views, but I'm not sure which is the best park to visit. I went to the park south of the Ichon Station, not sure where that ranks among them.
What kind of airbnb were you in and how much was the rate?
Also, I just found out that the AREX tickets are more than half of with a KE boarding pass. That would have been nice if I had known that ahead of time

I went to the Banpo Bridge for the "rainbow fountain" show one evening. It was a little underwhelming but worth doing. The floating island buildings that are all lit up at night next to the bridge were really cool.
And I went to the Yeouido park by the river to see more cherry blossoms and the legislature building on my last day.
This is the
Airbnb I stayed at. I think I paid something like $70/night.
