“After surgery, I was sick and needed a place to rest for a week as an outpatient treatment at the hospital. It was good that it was safe because it was a women-only accommodation, and if I told them about any inconveniences, they immediately applied it. ~ It was close because it was 1 minute from Yeoksam Station, and it was convenient because it was close to restaurants and convenience facilities. I was worried that it would be noisy at night because it was a food alley, but I couldn't hear any noise when I closed the window when I slept. Rather, I felt relieved because many people were visiting. The owner and staff were very kind. ~ If you are looking for accommodations near here, especially if you are a woman, I highly recommend it. ^^ Even though I was sick, I was able to rest comfortably and recover. ~”

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?
LiveAnywhere works well as an Airbnb alternative for anyone staying in Gangnam for a week or more. Rates are structured for longer bookings, not nightly stays, which usually works out cheaper than a night-by-night platform. There are no repeated cleaning fees, utilities are included, and hosts are verified and legally operating.
