Any good apartment rentals in South Korea?

Are there any good apartment rentals in South Korea? Probably some good ones near or in Seoul, would be great. Reason is because I'm planning to stay there for a few months and was looking for a place to stay while sightseeing around South Korea.

1. There is many good rental apartments around in Seoul. It is pretty much just to find an apartment you want to rent and rent it, as well as some hotels there is really cheap. If you want to go to the dephts, you can even consider renting a student/traveller, then it is pretty much just to google around. It is not very hard to find out!
2. Renting an actual apartment in Korea (as in the apartment blocks) is actually pretty darn expensive due to the fact then when you sign the papers you have to place a very large deposit. There IS an option of renting, but when I looked into this I would have had to pay $1000 deposit which isn't good if your needing the money. This isn't the kind of apartment I guess you would be imagining either. little bedroom, small bathroom and tiny kitchen (The one I looked at just had an oven top and no oven) To stay in a normal size apartment is, like I said ridiculously expensive. I think I have seen a post from you before saying you were just going for a few months? It might be easier and a cheaper option for you to stay in a good goshiwon. This costs between $350 - $600 depending on location and size of room (I stay in a big room and pay 420,000₩ ($420) a month. I have my own shower. There is a shared kitchen and toilet. Rice, ramen, kimchi and coffee are provided free. All other food you have to pay for Alternatively, you could opt to stay in a hasook jib which is similar to a boarding house. The rooms tend to be of a better standard and breakfast and dinner are provided, but this is more of an expensive choice. When I first came to Korea, I lived in happy together which is a hasook jib in sinchon. My room was tiny. I couldn't sit at my desk due to clothes hanging over (I'm not over exaggerating, it was tiny) there was a shared bathroom. I paid 440,000₩ ($440) my friend who had a bigger room paid 600,000₩ -------------------------------------------- edit---------------------------------------------------------------------- Found this information on a blog which might be pretty useful to know 10,000,000Won deposit ($8,930) and 600,000Won monthly rent ($535) – over 16 times one month of rent!
