So far so good. Found my flat using this platforms. The 48 hrs guarantee period is higher than what other websites offer.
DO NOT USE. They are refusing to refund a €960 booking fee for a reservation that was canceled within 6 hours because the reasons are "not valid." This site is a far cry from AirBnb where the tenant is protected. Anyone who has been robbed by this company, we should find each other and launch a class-action lawsuit against them. I don't see how they aren't shut down by a European consumer protection agency.

A really handy platform for international and exchange students to find a room! Navigation is really easy! Makes life easier!
My destination for Erasmus exchange was - honestly - I wild shot. I had no idea what it's like in Slovenia, didn't speak the language - nothing. Moreover I spent the whole summer abroad, thinking very little about what I was gonna do next. And suddenly I found myself a couple of days from the departure with no place to stay once in Ljubljana.
We all hear the same when contacting the landlords - don't we? 'Oh, but you are a student... and a foreigner... and just for a couple of months?... No, no, I don't think so'
Then - thank God I came across HousingAnywhere. Well, number of rooms offered is limited, but those advertising them are ready to give them away quite cheaply and for short term. Also - the company addresses my biggest fear - that the money will just disappear. Owing to the 'safe payment' method you are 100% sure the landlord will not escape with your deposit, leaving you homeless.
Certainly - trustworthy!
All my friends have always been in trouble for finding a room when they had the chance to leave and study abroad. A few days ago a friend of mine at the university suggested me to check this platform, I found many options and contacts in a very short time and the staff immediately answered my questions
Really cool opportunity for both groups of students going abroad: incoming and outgoing. You can either easily get a room without signing up long-period contracts while being incoming student or rent out your room and earn some extra money without loosing your contract while being abroad. Safe system and easy-to-nagivate platform.
The only downside is that the platform is not well known in some of the places yet so the range of the offered rooms can be smaller.
The platform is very easy to use and really user friendly. I appreciated the fact that my money was within the platform until my ok when I came to my new room. So the service is really safely, but the the landlords here are really trusted too. I don't wanna be scamed and the platform helped me a lot.
I found a room without problems and in a safe way. Maybe it's a bit long, but i recommend it to every erasmus student!
Finding housing in Stockholm, Sweden could be very challenging. Housing Anywhere quire beautifully addresses this gap and facilitates students like me to find exchange in the exchange country. I was really satisfies with the quality of the process and the room quality because usually on other housing platforms, you are not guaranteed about the quality of the room. Housing anywhere takes care of this problem as the rent is only transferred to the landlord once the renter of the room gives a thumbs up. One thing that could be improved is to increase the supply of rooms on the platform so there are more options to choose from.
Housing Anywhere is an easy and really safe option to find a room abroad. The staff is helpful and I really recommend it to everyone!
It is very easy to use this platform and there are a lot of offers in order to find a room abroad. Moreover this website helped me a lot in order to rent my own room. However, it happens that sometimes you can't find a room that suits you. But this problem will be solved when the website will gain in popularity.
I had really good experience with HousingAnywhere, I found quickly a home and it is quite easy, however the renting is quite expensive.
I was quite desperate for a room because I was very late to start looking and I found a place for my exchange! Very helpfull!
