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!

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.”

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’ve had such an amazing time staying in one of the housing options available in Haebangchon. The neighbourhood was perfect, the apartment was exactly what I was looking for, I had such nice roommates, and I genuinely didn’t have any problems at all during my stay. I would absolutely recommend it for a relatively long stay in Korea!”

“I stayed at Shared Homies for three months during my time in Seoul, and I highly recommend it. Steve is incredibly helpful and always there whenever you need anything, moving in, settling down, or answering any question you may have. As a foreigner, dealing with housing in Seoul can be overwhelming, but having someone trustworthy and supportive made everything so much easier. I also met some really great girls in my shared house, which made my stay even better. Overall, I had a very good experience and would recommend Shared Homies to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and reliable place to stay in Seoul.”

“Thanks to Shared Homies I could find an amazing place to stay at in Seoul for my exchange, which can be especially tricky as a foreigner. The communication with Steve was flawless from the first visit to the apartment. Our place was in a quiet and handy neighborhood, and perfectly taken care of. You can really tell they care for their tenants, looking for comfortable housing and grouping people from similar backgrounds together. I would 100% recommend renting with Shared Homies!!!”
