Heating and maintenance together ended up mattering more than the advertised rent for me. An officetel can look tidy and convenient, but winter utility costs plus 관리비 can quietly turn a "good deal" into something much less cute by January. I started asking for a recent real bill photo instead of a verbal estimate, because that answer is usually more honest than anything in the listing.
