Launching this month, Staysatfriends.com, is a new friend-to-friend accommodation website enabling users to access one another’s accommodation all over the world by creating a private community with their friends, and their friends of friends.
Staysatfriends.com ensures maximum security and privacy, as well as being a free service, with the flexibility to swap, loan or rent your properties.
It is easy to use and navigate having been in beta stage until now, and thoroughly tested over the past 2 years. Staysatfriends.com has been founded by five, experienced, international entrepreneurs, with strong technological and hospitality backgrounds.
The features of Staysatfriends.com are designed to make it easy and intuitive to invite friends to join the private community and to start seeing properties populate on a map of travel opportunities.
Users simply manage their calendar of availability for their friends to discover when is the right opportunity to rent (or borrow) their home.
Arnaud Marze, Founder of Staysatfriends.com, said: “Our vision with Staysatfriends.com is to be the first alternative people turn to when they want to organize their travel. People are already staying at each others houses, so we wanted to make this an easier way to make that happen and increase the destinations available.”
In a survey undertaken by Staysatfriends.com, 38 per cent of participants have used a friend’s or relative’s home for their holidays with 60 per cent of these systematically retuning to the same friend’s place, highlighting the trend for peer-to-peer accommodation.
Be it due to the recession or the ‘Collaborative Consumption’ theory the trend for friend-to-friend accommodation is on the rise. Staysatfriends.com offers a wealth of accommodation which can now be easily accessed privately via users address books or with Facebook Connect.
