The new roommates generation
Come for the room, stay for the community

What we believe
Looking for a room should not mean tired apartments, a landlord you have to chase and roommates you did not choose. We believe a rented room can feel like home from the first day: renovated, furnished, at a price known in advance, with someone to talk to when something goes wrong, and with people around you. As we tell every new Mate: that is what family is for.
What you get as a Mate
- Renovated and fully furnishedNo trips to IKEA. You come with a suitcase of clothes and settle into your new room.

- A price with no surprisesRent plus a fixed monthly amount for the bills. You know what you pay before you sign.
- Someone who answersSomething wrong? You talk to us. No landlord to chase.
- A communityMates from many countries, get-togethers, and people who know your name.
- Local perksDiscounts at businesses around you, just for Mates.
