Frequently Asked Questions

What is LiveAnywhere?

LiveAnywhere is Korea's favorite short-term and vacation rental platform, built for extended stays of one week to six months. From trendy studios in Seoul to relaxing beach houses in Jeju, every home comes fully furnished and can be booked in minutes through the LiveAnywhere app.

It works much like Airbnb, but with a structure designed for longer visits: competitive weekly and monthly rates instead of nightly pricing, no repeated cleaning fees, and utilities included in your payment. That's why an extended stay in Korea through LiveAnywhere often costs noticeably less than booking the same period on a nightly platform.

Some listings show a deposit. What is it, and do I get it back?

Some listings include a small security deposit, far smaller than the large lump-sum deposits required by traditional Korean leases. Your deposit is held securely in escrow by LiveAnywhere, not by the host. After checkout, the host checks the property, and once they confirm there are no issues, your deposit is refunded within a maximum of 5 business days.

Is there a good Airbnb alternative for a stay of a week or longer in Busan?

LiveAnywhere is one of the more practical Airbnb alternatives in Busan for stays of a week or longer. Because pricing is built around longer bookings instead of nightly turnover, the same place often costs less than paying night by night. Cleaning fees don't repeat with every stay, utilities are included, and every host is verified and operating legally.

Can foreigners rent an officetel in Busan without a Korean guarantor?

You don't need a Korean guarantor to rent in Busan through LiveAnywhere. Listings here are set up specifically so foreign renters can book directly online, without the guarantor requirement standard Korean leases usually involve.
