LifeX members come from all over the world and a big range of professions. In all, we have 50+ nationalities with occupations ranging from tech, consulting, art, teaching, etc.

Most members are between 25-35 yrs old, but we believe that age is just a number. We love diversity and promote environments where members get to meet people from different backgrounds and broaden their horizons.

That depends on the amount of people in the house, but most of our apartments are around 250-350 sqm and generally have 4 up to 7 private rooms. Each home has a modern kitchen, a dining area with enough space for everyone to sit and a spacious living room with a flat-screen tv. Some rooms have a private bathroom and others share one or more bathrooms. Generally, bathrooms are shared with 1 or 2 other people. All homes have in-house laundry facilities and most have extra storage space.

Room sizes range from 7 to 40 sqm. All rooms are fully furnished and decorated.

Generally, bathrooms are shared with 1 or 2 other people, but this can vary from apartment to apartment. The amount of bathrooms is mentioned with each apartment on our listing page and are also marked on the floor plans.

Yes we do! These are listed on our listing page as 'Ensuite' or 'Ensuite Couple'.

All our apartments and rooms are fully furnished, equipped and decorated to be completely ready for you to move in and immediately feel at home.

In the living room, you can expect a cosy lounge area with a TV to hang out together and watch films. There will be a dining area with enough space for everyone to sit and enjoy dinners and the kitchens are fully equipped with anything you need. We also try to provide as many standard accessories as possible, so you don't have to worry or bring anything when you move in. From kitchen appliances to utensils, cutlery, vases, mixers, toast machines, plates, pans, cups, hairdryers, steam irons, and more.

The private rooms come fully furnished and decorated as well:

• Bed: Single rooms generally have a 140x200cm bed including duvets and sheets. Couples rooms have a 180x200cm bed.*
• Storage space: All rooms have a cabinet with both hangers and drawers and extra storage space in boxes under the bed.
• Desk: All rooms come with a desk and a desk chair*.

* Please note that in some of the smallest rooms the bed might be 120x200cm for single or 160x200cm for couples and there might be a small or no desk.

We would love to show you our homes, but we also want to provide privacy to our current members. That's why don't offer viewings. Instead, we provide detailed pictures of our apartments and rooms, as well as 3D floor plans on our website here, so you can get a good idea of what the apartment is like. If you have any specific question or anything is not clear, we would be happy to answer your question per email or on a call.

We can guarantee a super high-quality standard across all our apartments. Our apartments are carefully selected and furnished with high-quality design furniture in the same beautiful Nordic style. Get an idea of what our current members think about LifeX on Trustpilot here.

The main purpose of the LifeX community is to make it possible for people—regardless of background—to feel comfortable and at home with their housemates, and have the opportunity to build long-lasting, authentic relationships.

As the community is a core foundation for LifeX, we host monthly events and sponsored activities to allow members the opportunity to meet other members and expand their networks, find people with similar hobbies, and just have fun.

To ensure member’s get to know their housemates when they move in, LifeX sponsors a welcome dinner for each new member and their housemates.

The LifeX member app offers various features that enables the community to engage with each-other, as well as the LifeX team.

Among other things, the LifeX app offers the ability for members to find/comment/like and create events hosted by LifeX and other members. It also offers the ability for members to talk to their housemates in their house group, and even browse each other’s profiles. Most importantly, the LifeX app facilitates communication between members and the LifeX team - be it updates from our operations team, or reaching out to us via the chat to suggest any feedback you may have for us.

The monthly price depends on the city, the apartment, and the room. You can see all our available rooms including the prices here.

Our prices are all-inclusive so you only need to pay one fixed amount each month for housing and don't need to worry about anything else. The price includes the rent, utilities, wireless internet, maintenance, cleaning and housing taxes.

Our deposits vary from city to city and are generally a little bit less than one month's rent. If the room is in the same state as when you moved in, the deposit will be fully refunded 10 days after your contract had ended.

We don't charge any move-in fees. To book a room, you only pay the rent and a deposit.

Yes, you can register and use LifeX as your permanent address.

Nope! We are pretty flexible and our first month is prorated, so you can move in at any day of the month and pay rent only from that day on.

Please be aware that besides for the first month, our contracts do run on a monthly basis and always end on the last day of the month.

Our minimum stay, in general, is three months. However, this may vary from city to city. There is no upper limit - you can stay as long as you want!

You can terminate your membership with one-month notice as long as it is before the end of the previous month. For example, if you would like to end January 31st, then the notice should be given before the end of December. You can move out on any day of the month, but keep in mind that the membership always ends on the last day of the month.

Yes! The flexibility of living is one of the things we strive for here at LifeX. Once you're a LifeX member, you always have the first pick on available rooms and plan a move in a few minutes.

Unfortunately, our apartments are currently not suitable for kids.

We LOVE pets, but unfortunately, we don't have any animal-friendly apartments available at the moment.

This is your home, so you can definitely have guests come over as long as they stay only a few days (up to 5 days) and everyone in the home is fine with it. If guests stay longer than 5 days, we will take it on a case by case basis.

You are welcome to invite friends over for lunch, dinner, etc. as long as your housemates are okay with it. Just give others a heads up and be mindful of the noise after 10 pm. You can always take the fun to a general area with closed doors or take it to the bar.

When you sign up on our website, you will get the option to book a time for a short call in our calendar. This call is meant to make sure you have all the information you need and discuss the options based on your preferences. After the call, we can book a room for you right away or add you to our waiting list, allowing you to reach out and book a room easily later.

We can always guarantee a move in during the week at business hours. If you are arriving on the weekend or outside of business hour, then please let us know. In Copenhagen and most other cities, we work with a key sharing service, allowing you to move in when it suits you best.
