What's truly essential for your wellbeing? Pick up to three — and only if it really matters to you. Skipping this entirely is a perfectly lovely answer. 💛

🌙 Deep sleep — I'm sensitive to sound ☁️ Warmth — I chill easily 🧊 Coolness — heat drains me 🌞 Daylight in my room 🖥 Working well from my room 🦵 Not too many stairs 📞 Taking calls freely 🛏 A bed big enough for two 🌃 Late nights (US hours) 🍳 Cooking at odd hours 🧳 Space — I travel with big bags 🍃 I adapt — any room works for me

Most rooms are homes to long-term members — openings are rare and worth waiting for. Striped amber means a room may open: we double-check with the community before promising anything. Striped blue means someone's application is in review — that doesn't close the door. If you feel you're the right fit, start now.

Two houses, one home

We live across two houses in Huam-dong, a few minutes' walk apart — dinners and gatherings flow between them, so there's no "which community should I choose": there is only one. Wander for the feel of each house: Chapter 1 — album · house tour 🎥 · Chapter 2 — album · house tour 🎥.

▶ The honest tour — kitchens, bathrooms, stairs, late nights for the curious · click to open

The two chapters have personalities. Chapter 1 sits on the hill — stairs to reach it and stairs within, cozy and cute (kind knees recommended) — and its kitchen is the roomier one: lovely if you cook at odd hours, early or late. Chapter 2 rests on flatter ground with easier bathrooms and more space of your own — your own cupboard shelf, and real room in the fridge.

About bathrooms, honestly. Chapter 1 has three: Baekbeom's own (with a bathtub), the big main one on the second floor beside Jeongwol — shared by the other four rooms — and a small helper bathroom downstairs. Four to a bathroom sounds busy, but everyone's rhythm is different and much of life happens out in the city; it flows. Chapter 2 has a bathroom on each floor: upstairs shared just by Itami Jun and Noh Eun Nim, downstairs serving Bae Doona and Lee Taeseok — you almost never wait. If bathroom ease matters a lot, Chapter 2 (or Baekbeom) is your friend.

Working late on US hours? Yeonam, Itami Jun and Jeongwol are the kindest choices — and either way, we lovingly recommend an eye mask. 🙂

And why no photo galleries per room? Our rooms are comfortable and made for real living — each card carries its true character, including the imperfections. We can't guarantee a specific room, and we won't always have the energy to engineer it. Trust the community, trust the place, trust yourself.

Inquire about membership

Short and practical — the deeper questions come later, in the application form. Everything here goes straight into our member records; we won't ask you twice.

Name

Desired move-in

Move-out — the date you're committing to, for now

no next plan yet? · can I change this later?

If you don't have a next travel plan, pick the date you can commit to right now — a real date helps us hold the house together. It can change, gently. For deposits (stays of 4+ months): with two months' notice your deposit returns in full, between one and two months half stays with the house, and under one month it stays entirely. It comes back within 14 days of moving out, after a quick room check together. The sooner you tell us, the kinder — an early word gives someone else a chance at a home. 💛

First, the thing we allocate by: is there anything you truly cannot live with?

What's truly essential for your wellbeing? (one to three things — not the whole wish list 🙂)

Room preferences, ranked (optional — a wish, not a promise; we start from your 1st and do our best)

🍚 I'm open to staying at our neighbor's guest rooms + joining as shikgu, if that fits better for everyone — 10–30 seconds from Chapter 1, paid to the neighbor directly, never more than a Seoul Nooks membership fee. Photos & details here — we'd guide you through the options by email.

🧳 If your dates only work by moving rooms partway, I'm up for it

how room switches work

Sometimes a stay only fits the houses if you change rooms along the way. When a switch is needed by the house, we take care of it — the moving is on us. Switching by personal preference while living here carries a fee: rooms are homes, not a menu. Saying yes here simply keeps more doors open for your dates.

Anything practical we should know? (optional)

I've spent a little time with what membership means and how we live — so we can begin from the same place. 💛

Can't find a window that fits, or something feels unclear? Write to us at seoulnooks@gmail.com — members travel, plans shift, and sometimes a room breathes open for a while. We keep a little wish list for exactly this. 💫 And if living in isn't the shape of your season, remember the shikgu path — a bed next door or your own, a seat at our table either way.
