Why people moving to Italy use it
Rooms, not whole apartments
Specialized in single and double rooms in shared flats — the way students and young professionals actually live in Italy.
Requests and chat, in English
Send a request to a landlord or future flatmate; when they reply, you chat in the app. The app works in English, Italian and Turkish.
Verified profiles
Identity verification and community reporting keep the search safer — a big deal in a market full of rental scams.
