The apartments were in very convenient areas, close to transit and everything you need in Seoul. The units were clean, well-maintained, and had ample furniture — they felt comfortable and practical for everyday living. Steve was always very responsive, accommodating, and trustworthy, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Shared Homies to anyone looking for a place in Seoul.”

I’m Severine, I got a one year contract opportunity in Seoul and even though my company offered an accommodation I wanted to feel home and get a true Korean living experience, not a one year hotel life. Instagram brought me to Shared homies, I contacted Steve and I’m living my best life in Seoul. Chit chat to small business owner of my mix culture yet very Korean neighbourhood, made a lot of friend hiking and joining a drawing club, even did my first group exhibition. Steve is a very careful and helpful landlord, honest soul and heart. 100% recommended”

Their easy search for house while being abroad, immediate response for house fixing, low deposits, and helping when moving in the house are all excellent features that make them a top choice for those seeking comfortable and convenient shared housing. I love being in the cozy house with my lovely flatmates. We have our own space and common living room for fun times. Our house manager Stephen has become a part of our circle. He is so friendly and kind. He has been so supportive for all the house fixings. I highly recommend the shared housing ❤️”

“Renting my room with Shared Homies made moving to Seoul a lot easier for me. My roommates became like family to me, and I really enjoy the neighborhood of our home.”“My roommates became like family to me, and I really enjoy the neighborhood of our home. I didn't have to worry about high deposits or not knowing the language well enough to get a good room, so that took a lot of the stress away.”

As it was my first time living with people other than my family, I was so lucky to be paired with two amazing roommates who shared the same way of thinking and doing things as me. This apartment was almost exactly what I was looking for when I first imagined where I wanted to stay in Korea, even before coming. Everything became so much easier once I realized how well located it was and how great the place was overall. If I could, I would definitely go back to my room there!! I was also very relieved that our landlord was always available to answer our questions quickly whenever we needed help, and they were a big help with many things. I would totally recommend this place and would stay in the same apartment again if it were available!! Thank you so much 😆”

“Staying in Korea was made so much easier thanks to Shared Homies! Before coming to Korea, I hopped on a call with the landlord, Steve, to go through all the options, and this was already a much more personal experience compared to other housing companies.”“Staying in Korea was made so much easier thanks to Shared Homies! Before coming to Korea, I hopped on a call with the landlord, Steve, to go through all the options, and this was already a much more personal experience compared to other housing companies. Once I was actually in Seoul, Steve would always quickly reply to any questions I had or would be at the apartment within an hour if something was wrong. The apartment was completely furnished with everything you need, including bedding, towels, etc. The deposit is low compared to other options in Korea, and Steve speaks perfect English, so I didn’t have to worry about communicating in (broken) Korean.”

“Honestly, one of the easiest shared housing coordinations I've been a part of and I've traveled a lot. Steve was beyond accommodating and welcoming as a host, amidst COVID, too when the world was crazy. He was on top of all the communications and always available to help answer any questions. Big fan of Shared Homies and feel lucky that I got to call Haebangchon my home for awhile and it was all made possible because of this experience! :)”

“Moving to a strange country is a big step and sometimes you might face difficulty in communication or house-hunting. Before moving to Korea, I was having a hard time finding the house in the right location but Stephen who is a house manager helped me out several times. He guided me through all the processes and legalities for the house and for the registration card as well. He is really reliable and kind... At last, when I moved in, I was so happy to find a perfect house with all the utilities and amazing flatmates.”

Sergei Rosliakov

“Facing with challenging task of seeking for apartments in Seoul we explored number of ways - friends, Naver real estate agencies, facebook groups, we eventually ended up with Shared Homies. Steve proposed several options and we easily made our choice. While all option of flat rental is Seoul are more or less viable, we decided, “The best kill the rest” and followed Steve’s recommendation, which were helpful, with holistic approach and, more important, made us confident in our choice among other opportunities. Hope our stay in Seoul will be as enjoyable as the first steps of making choice and concluding rental agreement – easy to navigate, friendly, with very detailed and comprehensive information provided by the host.”
