[@CindyandDion]

If it were you, which apartment would you want to live in? 🥰🤔

[@incrediblemissy7563]

The last one!

[@kmluneta29]

Would’ve want to see apts from the rose village part but Apartment 7 caught my eye too much though not able to feel the heat yet there 😅

[@kmluneta29]

and maybe the last one with the running/walking path is a big bonus

[@richardhanson4600]

Thank you for showing all the options. I like most of these places for a variety of reasons. My top choice is the last one due to attractive neighbourhood and green views. Looking forward to finding out about your final decision...

Apartment 11. Not a fan of stairs having lived in a 3 storey townhouse growing up 😁

[@heunhan_jpg]

Just wanted to share my gratitude for you to blur the face of the people in your videos! Usually even when their faces are close, the youtubers don’t blur their faces. And as someone who have a fear of being perceived that’s one of my nightmare to appear on internet without knowing it. So thank you!

[@minnie777]

Thanks for including the Prices of every apartment ! That helps sooooo much

[@CindyandDion]

Glad if it helps!! 😆💕

[@crywxlf4990]

Never have I ever ever had more respect for people who can live in tiny spaces like this. Never ever ever have I ever been so grateful to live in my 600 sqft 2 bedroom apartment in Minnesota, nor have I ever been more grateful to be moving to an apartment twice the size with another bedroom and bathroom. I feel very humbled.

[@CindyandDion]

That’s so nice!!🥹🥹

[@cheesecake4648]

what about tiny space, with your parents in law, for ten years and counting because renting here is super expensive?

the rose village place looks straight out of the kdrama "lovely runner"!!

[@xmxzigh]

i love the fact you're not talking but only filming and sharing with subtitles, that's cool. for the apt, I feel that the spaces are quite tiny for the price. i knew Seoul is pricey, but not that much, OMG. if I had to choose, I'll go for the last one :D

[@EvaintheAlps]

Just today, KZbin recommended this video to me. I also watched a few more from your channel. I love how relaxing and aesthetic your editing is! You and your boyfriend remind me a lot of my boyfriend and me, and it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. We’re also hunting for a new apartment, just in Innsbruck, Austria. I just wanted to mention it, as from what I watched in your videos, I think you’d love Innsbruck and Austrian Tirol. It looks like Miyazaki’s movies here. However, the rent game is on the next level here, so it’s nice to see the abundance of options that you have in Seoul. Oh, somehow, I feel that you chose either the 13th or something in the neighborhood of the 16th. Idk, I personally like the one with the bath as this is one of my criteria, but fridge is hell and it’s so smol, tho I loved the huge windows and the garden is so lovely 🥰 all the apartments are quite different from what we get here Greetings from Austria ⛰️

[@CindyandDion]

Hi!! Thank you so much for the sweetest message🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 A huge window and a nice view are also some of my top criteria! But It’s really hard to find a place we both like that also fits our budget🥲 I wonder what apartments in Austria look like! I bet they’re amazing, surrounded by such gorgeous nature😝 I’d love to visit someday for sure!

[@melodybell-lf3oi]

Wow. Everywhere is so clean. For a large city, it's seams so peaceful. South korea looks beautiful!

[@beautyofsnacks]

Apartment 11 was nice! I went through the same process when I was finding an apartment in Boston in the Back Bay neighborhood, and wow, it was so incredibly stressful, lol

[@mavenism]

aww congrats!! 🎉 the concept of a co-living apartment seems so cool :o i think the last two apartments were really nice

[@LadyEzri]

I miss my last loft apartment in Korea. I was concerned at first about not being able to stand up either, but all I ever did in the loft was sit and read, or sleep, so it really wasn't an issue. All of my clothes were in the closets on the main floor so I changed there or in the bathroom after a shower. So I agree that a proper shower stall was a must!

[@ireneseverova2369]

Apartment number 6 and the last one 😍🌳 💙🌺🌹 Enjoy your new home!

[@CindyandDion]

the last apartment is nice indeed! Thank you so much!!💕

I really hope I was the first to comment this but I immediately clicked this video bc that thumbnail! it’s definitely the apartments that all of the contestants of superstar academy stayed in when they were in korea! that layout is so unique in memorable. It was apartment number 13! over all love the effort put into this video! ❤ all of the options are so beautiful as far as designs of apartments we have in the U.S.

[@CindyandDion]

Yesss I also love the unique layout of that room! But the price is crazyyy🥲🥲

I really like 11 and 13! Can’t wait to see which one you both ended up picking! 😊

It's funny that people seem to associate "old" with "bad" there. I thought that Rose village area was lovely and had 100x more character than any of the soulless high rise lofts.

[@kakarabreu]

kkk i thought the same, and half of the brand new apart they looked, were mostly the same thing kkkkk ill never get those peoples mind

[@BritneyC]

Very visually attractive blog! I really appreciate your providing the addresses of some of the neighborhoods; I look forward to exploring some of them during my next visit. I also appreciate seeing the cafes and the fact that we got to see some of what they offer, including the food you purchased. You provided a lot of “buck” for the time spent - not just views of apartments but also neighborhoods, cafes, foods. 고맙습니다!

Loved this this was so fun to watch! Me and my now Korean husband (we weren't engaged when we went last year) stayed in one of those Korean apartment airbnb loft style too where the ceiling upstairs was also quite low. It is interesting why it's so low because it becomes hard to use that space for anything other than sleeping!

Hi I absolutely love the videos and style in which you record them! I am planning on doing some travel this year and want to emulate the similar style so I am wondering if you use log for the iphone footage and also where do you edit it? I have a a7iv which I was planning on using for vlogging but after watching your past couple videos, this seems much easier and looks amazing still! I will most likely use that for cinematic content and photography.

[@CindyandDion]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, iPhone quality these days is 👌🏼👌🏼 I don't use Log when recording with my iPhone since the file size is too big, but I do use it for shots I plan to color grade later! And I edit my videos on Final Cut Pro😆

[@qlffl]

@@nobrainernoam I’m happy for you. I’m from Switzerland so anywhere is cheaper than my hometown but considering the size of some places, it’s sometimes feels like a rip off. Like some places were reasonably priced 1/2 years ago but suddenly they all bumped their rent by 100/200$

Ikr, I was wondering the same thing!

Yes. They pay a deposit and then paying a monthly fee for the apartment to cover the HOA-related fees. They get the deposit back when they leave. It’s very expensive.

The prices are so crazy... I pay 967 USD (840.- CHF) for a 10m2 room in Zurich, Switzerland. It has a shared bathroom and kitchen and is pretty outdated. (Will be moving out, though bc it's just too small and old for my taste). But it's insane to see the differences of rent in various countries.

[@Hnnhjkjm]

btw I have to say that a reason as to why I am moving is the price, too, since you can definitely get something better for the price. But it's normal that a room in a shared flat costs around 600-1400 CHF, depending on the size of the room. I am so luck as to have found a nicely sized room near my university for the same price. Will get 19m2, a share kitchen, bathroom and the best part: a shared rooftop. I'm so exitedddddddd

[@Mikichan85]

17:57 I live in Berlin... Never heard before the "bonanza coffee". And I MUST hear about, because I live here (in Berlin) and the name (bonanza) is Italian. I'm Italian. I really think that they say "original store of Berlin" (or similar) just for marketing. Anyway, some micro flat are nice... For only one person. But the prices... Impossible. 1900$/€??????? HOW?? The income of a normal person here is around 1400/1500€. We have a minimum of standard for the flats. For example, 2 rooms if the person are 2. Separated rooms, NO open lofts. If we talk only about the single bed room, in Italy at least, MUST be 9mq. Plus bathroom, kitchen, Flur.. We arrive easy at 16/20 mq. For ONE person. (in theory even more, because you must add even a space for a little living room. Integrated or not) How can u live with less?? And why do you (coreans/Japaneses) agree with this NOT human conditions? I truly cannot understand!

[@priscilaspu]
