Skip overpriced hotels. Stay with a fellow startup builder.
Hotels feel impersonal. Airbnb is overpriced. And sleeping
on a bunk bed in crowded hostels during conferences or work trips?

Everything was so easy, it felt like we already knew the host, even though we just met. The host was super helpful and it was nice to talk about our AIESEC experiences, although unfortunately we didn't have much time to get to know each other. Basically felt like we were being hosted by a friend.

When I arrived in Vienna on a weekday, Wafa arranged for me to pick up the keys from her office. She is a natural-born host, one of the most hospitable people I know and cooks amazing food. Her spacious flat is absolutely pristine. I will miss the enjoyable dinnertime with my good friend!

In just a few days in Vienna, I went from a visitor to feeling like a local. We shopped, cooked, hit the gym, and bonded over wine. I felt at home in Vienna, thanks to Stayingbee.

My experience was very positive. Two main factors - the host was very interesting & hospitable too. I felt at home very quickly and was very accomodating overall. Also the price point was really good too - helping me to extend my stay further.

Overall it was a great experience me and my friend stayed alone in the whole flat. It was like an AirBnB experience. Overall pretty smooth.
