It's very nice that people come forward offering places for other people to live instead of letting them be homeless

Last time I didn't find any places from the "many" advertised. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Please advise me. I need a one or two bedroom flat or guest house in the Hollywood Hills or west as far as Santa Monica.

There is no customer service available. Every time I submit my phone number, it tells me "phone number blocked". I tried contacting customer service and cannot get a response back.

I'm new at this
October 2, 2020

I'm new at this. Is this how things go now? A person is required to buy a subscription in order to respond to an ad. I thought i was just gonna schedule a viewing.

Security is paramount and this is the second time I have used this service to find a tenant. I have not had any issues and the people I have found have been quality individuals! Praying it stays that way! I recommend this app for sure above all others

I cannot locate the terms of service. Does subscribing permit direct contact with applicants/prospective tenants?

Your pricing structure is arbitrary and dishonest, and you don't have enough users because of it, which makes it harder to get anything for one's money.

Issues to pay by website. Also, I costs more to pay on the app directly, that's bad idea.

I would like my room listing to be saved so that I don't have to update it every time that I need to get a roommate.
