FAQ
How much does a room at Melody House cost per month?
A room at Melody House costs ₩6,000,000 (≈ €3,371) per month, all-in: rent, utilities, and WiFi in one monthly price. Exact prices per room are listed on this page.
What deposit do I need to move into Melody House?
Deposits vary by room — ask us for the exact amount before booking; it's returned at move-out per your contract. There is no jeonse (전세) lump sum and no key money — this is a fraction of the ₩5,000,000+ deposits typical for a direct wolse (월세) lease.
Can I see Melody House before booking from abroad?
Yes. We do a live video walkthrough with every prospect who wants one — every room, the common areas, and the street outside, with someone on-site answering your questions in real time. If you're already in Seoul, we'll arrange an in-person tour instead.
Do I need a Korean guarantor or ARC to rent at Melody House?
No. You book with your passport and visa — no Korean guarantor, no Korean bank account, and no ARC (외국인등록증) required upfront. Once you move in, Melody House gives you a real Seoul address you can use for your ARC application, banking, and a phone contract.

Melody House is in Hongdae (홍대) in Mapo-gu, Seoul’s student, art, and nightlife hub. The map and neighbourhood guide on this page show exactly what's around the house.
What's included in the rent at Melody House?
Every room comes fully furnished — bed, desk, and storage — with shared kitchen and living areas. Utilities and WiFi are part of the monthly price, so the number you see is the number you pay each month.
