“I stayed for a month in a single-story detached house with a yard for home interior renovations. It is a clean and pretty house, and commuting is convenient as it is close to Gireum Subway Station. Being on the first floor, I felt at ease doing laundry and vacuuming. With the yard, it is great for the family to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea time outside on warm days. It was very convenient as it was fully equipped with dishes, a refrigerator, washing machine, air purifier, and more. I had a comfortable stay for a month. The house was so pretty that it felt like I was on a camping trip or a vacation rental.”

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 Seoul?

For an extended stay in Seoul, LiveAnywhere works as a straightforward Airbnb alternative: rates are set for week-plus bookings rather than nightly stays, so costs come out lower over time. You also skip repeated cleaning fees, utilities are included in the price, and hosts are verified and legally operating.

Can foreigners rent a villa in Seoul without a Korean guarantor?

No Korean guarantor is required to book a stay in Seoul on LiveAnywhere. That's built into how the platform works, so you can complete the entire booking online without needing someone to co-sign.

Seoul pricing for a weekly villa generally falls between ₩322,000 and ₩1,500,000, based on 73 matched listings. Rates vary depending on the exact neighborhood and property features.
