Trustroots VS Roomi

Also, I would suggest joining a hospitality org. The best, original one is Servas - www.servas.org - but there's couchers.org, trustroots.org and others. it could help you immensely. Source: 12 months ago

Have a look at trustroots.org. Still pretty quiet, but seems to be growing. Source: about 1 year ago

That's because they built the site with volunteers and then the founders cashed in and now the site is behind a paywall. Better join bewelcome.org, trustroots.org, or couchers.org. Source: over 1 year ago

There is bewelcome.org, trustroots.org, couchers.org .All of them smaller but without paywall. Source: over 1 year ago

Ues the website or use another app like couchers.org or trustroots.org . Free options exist -and in the end it is supposed to be an experience-sharing thing, not about money for the devs. Source: almost 2 years ago

And lastly, most people look for apartments via StreetEasy but given you are looking for an open room in an apartment with other occupants, you might want to give Roomi a try. Source: almost 2 years ago
