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 Gangnam?
If you're looking for an Airbnb alternative in Gangnam, LiveAnywhere is built for stays of a week or longer.

There are no repeated cleaning fees, utilities are included, and every host is verified and legally operating.
