Stays

Somewhere to stay that makes the trip easier.

We are not a booking site. We tell you which part of London to stay in, and find you a place we would put a friend in, with someone local on the end of a phone.

The problem

Where you stay decides half your trip. The wrong area costs an hour a day on trains, and every London listing looks the same until you arrive.

What we do

Tell us who is coming, your budget and the people you are visiting. We tell you which area makes sense and find you somewhere we would put a friend: flats we know and hosts we work with.

Status

Our own flats: waitlist open

Our first London flats are being secured now. Join the waitlist and you get first refusal on dates, at the launch rate, before anything goes on a booking platform.

What we are building

Four things we will not compromise on.

Neighbourhood first
Chosen for where they are, not for how the photographs came out. Every one within ten minutes of a tube station we would use ourselves.
A real person
Someone you can call who is in the same city, not a support queue in a different timezone.
Set up for actually staying
Fast broadband, a working kitchen, a washing machine, and a guide to the immediate five streets written by whoever lives on them.
Bundled with the rest
Airport pickup and a private tour on your first morning, arranged by the same person who found you the flat.
