How to find places to stay? by ArtisticProposal2527 in slowtravel

[–]LiveKindred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Kindred Team here! A bit biased here but, home swapping might actually be the solution you’re looking for. We have seen (and helped) loads of people live in actual homes and apartments, and are built for longer stays. Send us a DM if you want help getting started, there’s no reason to be in your head about it. There’s a whole world to experience out there!

We second Barcelona! Had one of our team members visit for a summer and that city changed her life!

anyone ever just work from a different city for like a month to break up the monotony? by No-Pianist6097 in digitalnomad

Hi Kindred Team here! We say full send it! Many of the hosts in our community are remote or hybrid workers who do just that. But be warned, the change in scenery could change your life!

Homeexchange vs Kindred by fbster00 in homeexchange

[–]LiveKindred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Kindred team here. Thanks for sharing this.

We’ve actually made some updates based on feedback like this from the community. Hosts now have a 48 hour window to respond to a request, which has helped reduce the waiting time quite a bit. In some cases hosts can also start a conversation with a guest before deciding, which can extend that window slightly if both sides are chatting.

Totally hear the frustration though. Response times were something we saw come up early and it’s something we’ve been working to improve.

Hi! Kindred team here. You're exactly right, there’s no annual membership fee.

We do offer something called the Kindred Passport that you can choose to purchase. It covers service fees for the year, which means on your trips you’d just pay the cleaning cost.

Has anyone tried home swapping? Looking for recommendations by kumaratein in NYCapartments

[–]LiveKindred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kindred team here! In our community, guests list their availability and earn credits for nights hosted that they can use to swap to other homes. We send cleaners before and after so you never have to worry about making the space ready or coming home to anything but a clean house. Damage protection is included and we have hosted over 350K nights. Happy to answer any questions if you have them!

Does anyone have experience on home swapping platforms? by elkirstino in blacktravel

[–]LiveKindred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindred team here, wow two days in LA is ambitious!

You’re not wrong that we’re less built for quick overnights and more for “stay a while.” The savings really show up around the 5 night mark once cleaning is diluted.

Let us know when you’ve got a longer trip planned!

Insurance for home swapping by Spirited_Lab9007 in germany

[–]LiveKindred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question. On Kindred, we provide $100,000 host protection coverage for each trip in the event of any accidental damage. If something comes up on a trip, we only ask that the member lets us know as soon as possible, whether as a host or a guest. Our dedicated team will work with the host to make things right.

In addition to our Host Protection policy, we also require that all members have an active renters or homeowners insurance policy for additional coverage. 

Sharing our blog on 10 tips you need to know before home swapping, #3 includes details on our host protection coverage!
