Anyplace is rad. Great concept & @satoruitter was very early on the work from anywhere concept. 👍

Hi @satoruitter ! This looks interesting. Can you quickly explain how does it differ from AirBnB or Outsite?
Satoru Steve Naito
@doomhammer Thank you for your question. The huge difference between Airbnb and Anyplace is the nature of the business. Airbnb is optimized for C2C and short-term stays, whereas Anyplace is optimized for B2C and long-term stays (housing). Airbnb doesn’t usually accept instant bookings for stays of 30 days or more, so customers have to communicate with multiple hosts to explain the purpose of their stay and provide proof of income to secure long-term accommodation. We, on the other hand, only work with professionally managed properties and provide customers with a screening system (checking customer credit score, criminal record, eviction reports, etc. immediately online) and a real-time availability check, so for the long-term stays, our booking process is much easier than Airbnb’s.

@satoruitter Thanks, this makes a lot of sense! I can't wait to be able to try this :)

@satoruitter Wow, there is actually much more work behind it than i thought. Good luck!

@raymond_burns Thanks, Raymond!
Wayne Ainsworth
What a brilliant idea. Looks great, would love to use it in future. One thing I would suggest is making the message about being a minimum of 30 days on search more visible - the standard black text can be lost. :)

@wayne_ainsworth1 Thank you for the feedback! We'll fix that 🔧

Nice initiative! How do you find landlords and how do you vet them?
Satoru Steve Naito
@footer Thanks, Amin. We form partnerships through inbound (SEO & content) and outbound sales (calls & emails). We have a call with all leads to make sure of their quality.

@satoruitter If I may suggest, it would be a good idea to change how addresses are displayed. Firstly, I as a user, won't need to know the exact address until I've paid. Secondly, I found a property from the homepage and this is how the address appears "Jl. Penestanan, Sayan, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia". I feel like the only relevant info here would be Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.

@footer Thank you for the feedback. We'll keep improving our product.

I should have thought of Anyplace before I signed a 2-year lease in Manhattan. An expensive mistake! I love Anyplace's flexibility.

@adam_wildavsky Thanks, Adam. Maybe next time 😉
