I came to Seoul for an exchange semester from February to June which was the best months of my life because I had the chance to see so much things. During this period, I was lucky enough to find shared homies. Thanks to this, I had the opportunity to live in a shared apartment in an amazing neighborhood with my friend. Steve was a great landlord, he always responded quickly whenever we had an issue. For example, when the weather started getting warmer about three months after I arrived, I realized I didn’t have a fan in my room. I texted him, and the next morning there was a fan at my doorstep. He also gives very helpful tips and assists with everyday matters, whether it’s dealing with your ARC or figuring out how to sort and throw out trash. On the one hand, the apartment is located in a fantastic neighborhood, close to a bus station, several convenience stores, and plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafés. On the other hand, the apartment itself was perfect: spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need, including air conditioning, a fan, a TV, an iron and ironing board, a washing machine, umbrellas, and more. In the room there is a mirror, a desk and a lot of ranging space. As you can see in the third photo, we had a direct view of Seoul Tower, which was definitely one of the highlights of the apartment. It’s such a unique experience to see it every day whether in the morning on the way to school or at night when it’s beautifully illuminated. Last but not least, another highlight was that, since Steve owns several apartments, I was able to share this one with my friend. This is not always easy to arrange, so I am very grateful for that opportunity.
