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 ❤️”

“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.”“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.”

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 😆”

Everything was as expected, and I never encountered any major problems. One of the highlights of my stay was meeting such wonderful roommates, who made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. If you’re looking for a similar experience, a comfortable place to live, a good host, and a great community, I would highly recommend SharedHomies. I’m very grateful for my time there and would happily recommend it to others.”

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.”

The whole process was smooth, and I really appreciated the support throughout. A special thank you to Steve, who is a genuinely kind, professional, and helpful person. He was always responsive, answered all my questions, and made finding a place much less stressful. I highly recommend Shared Homies to anyone looking for affordable and reliable housing in Korea!”

Steve was always available and friendly, quickly addressing any need to make the stay even more comfortable. Communication with Steve was simple and transparent.

“Amazing housing experience in Seoul! I had a fantastic stay at my apt in HBC The apartment was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything I needed for a seamless experience. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants, making it perfect for exploring the city. The landlord, Steve is incredibly professional and very reactive —he quickly addressed any questions or needs I had during my stay. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Seoul!! The main communication is in english, making it easier for foreigners to ask any questions. The process is highly reliable, they ensure all the tenants to get to know each other for collective approval before moving to the housing, and everything is proceeded very clear with indications when you arrive in seoul! Highly recommend this housing option for anyone visiting or moving to the city!”

“I rented an apartment from SharedHomies during my semester abroad in Seoul, and I am very happy about my decision. From the application process to handing the keys, everything went smoothly and without any issues. Throughout my stay, Steve was incredibly friendly, helpful, reliable and always quick to respond to any questions or problems I had. The apartment itself was also clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable. I would definitely choose SharedHomies again in the future. Since it’s also a great opportunity to meet new people and make some new friendships. Highly recommend! Thank you, Steve!”

“Booked this place for a colleague of mine visiting Korea for a month. The location is great and very convenient to use public transports. The neighbourhood is quiet but has all you need... Convenience Stores, fitness, restaurants, etc... Steve is a great host and very responsive to any request. The reservation process was flawless and very convenient.. Couple of messages, payment, and it was done... Same for the refund of the deposit at the end of the stay. To conclude, highly impressed with the service and recommend it without reservation!”

“Happy to leave a review! Being a remote worker who travels a lot, I’ve been constantly searching for short-term apartments in each destinations I’m traveling to. During the past few years I’ve been dealing with several housing service providers, and I gotta say that Shared Homies tops the list for being one of the best housing providers among the world. When I first got in touch with Steve, he arranged a quick call to walk me through the entire rental process and answered whatever questions I may have. During the call he showed me the location on google map as well as a pre-filmed video of him showing the neighborhood, infrastructures etc around the apartment I’m moving in so that I can have a overview of where I’m staying and what to expect. He has been very responsive, and when I had some further requests, he’s always being understanding and willing to help. This time we had made the agreement and due to an unexpected situation, I had to pull out the deal in the last minute. I appreciate that Steve still trying to understand my situation and let me put a stop on the deal :)) I’d def be happy to stay in their apartment next time when I’m staying in Seoul! TLDR: if you’re looking for a reliable and professional housing provider, look no further!! This is one of the best in Seoul!! Go ahead and I’m sure you’re gonna have a stress-free housing experience:)”

Steve was always very kind and helpful, and I am very happy with my experience renting from Shared Homies.”

“I stayed for 6 Month at the House Blossom in HBC. The location is really nice, it's very central in Seoul, there are a lot of shops and restaurants around and subway and bus connections are also very convenient. Steve is also a really nice landlord. For example when the shower head was broken and I texted him he directly ordered a new one and it arrived the next day. The Medium-sized room is also very nice. It has everything you need: bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, mirror, etc. The only downside is that the room itself doesn't have an AC and the one in the shared area was not really good. In the end the AC even broke, so there might be a better one now. The shared area is also really nice. It has a small kitchen with everything you need and the bathroom has a big washing mashine and a separated shower/ bathtub. There is also a big spare room with a big drying rack and a lot of space to store luggages or something like that. The only problem is that during the rainy season we noticed some leaks in the spare room and it didn't really got fixed although we reported it. But it was just one the one side so it wasn't really bothering me. In general it was a really nice stay for me. Especially for the price in deposit and monthly rent i couldn't find anything that was as nice as this place. So if i ever come back i would always try to get a room at Shared Homies!”

“My 18 yr old daughter lived in Seoul for 10 months. The initial move there was quite stressful as we looked for apartments. Someone recommended Shared Homies and we got in contact with Steve. From the start to the end of the stay, Steve has been fantastic!! We met several times via zoom and he put my daughter in contact with her potential roommates so that they could have an initial meeting before sharing the apartment. The apartment in Muakjae is great! Big rooms, functional kitchen, a small dining area and a bathroom. Perfect for 2 girls. The area is safe and the people living in the neighbourhood were so kind and friendly to my daughter who initially did not speak any Korean. While the apartment may not be in the centre of Seoul, it is quiet and super close to the subway. There are many supermarkets and cafes nearby and even a gym that my daughter became a member in. We have no regrets getting an apartment from Shared Homies & highly recommend any young student or someone on long term stay in Seoul to contact Steve :)”

I would strongly recommend staying here!”

“This is an authentic version of living in Korea with good homies overseas offered by a gentle, friendly, and respectful house manager, Stephen. He took a good care of E2E procedure from the first-time interview with the tenants to moveout on the last day, which were all smooth sailing with his kind and agile help even at a late night. It is pretty much cost-saving too compared to Airbnb for over few months, including all the utilities without any stress paying the bills all written in Korean. What’s more is that it provides all the dossier to submit to the immigration authorities in Korea. I used to live in foreign countries alone at a studio, feeling a bit lonely after school. I highly recommend Shared Homies to enjoy cozy vibes with global homies by sharing the living room and kitchen space, talking about life experiences with new cultures together, yet still pursuing privacy in my bedroom. P.s. Extra thanks to Steve for introducing the best flatmates who got to be my bff 👯 up until now…! I miss the time cooking different cuisines from Italy 🇮🇹 and india 🇮🇳 with them..”

“I stayed at Muak 3 - Harmony in the medium room for 4 months for an abroad semester at SKKU. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The room itself is incredibly spacious, cozy and beautifully decorated. It has a big window that allows plenty of natural and sunlight to come in which was one of my favorite features. There is also a lot of space to store and hang your clothes/ belongings. Other highlights of the room to mention are the desk that comes with a mirror and the bed that has a lamp and a plug attached to it. The shared space is AMAZING. It is an open space featuring a living room (smart big tv with an L shaped comfy couch that could fit 6 people) and a kitchen (equipped with a stove, oven, rice cooker, fridge and freezer, sink, washer, drying racks, utensils and dishes). Steve, the landlord, is absolutely fantastic. He was always quick to respond to all my questions and is extremely helpful. He helped me order stuff of Coupang (Korean Amazon) multiple times and is a great communicator who never makes anything difficult. The overall location of is convenient and worth it. A 3 minute walk to bus and 15 minute walk to subway. There are two 24/7 convenience stores nearby and a traditional market and grocery stores near the subway station. I highly recommend Muak 3 - Harmony and the medium room for all visitors looking for short- or long-term stay. The spacious, cozy, and beautiful room, combined with the excellent location and the exceptional service provided by Steve, made my stay unforgettable!”
