Kindred Home Swapping

This app has messed up my entire trip. I had everything booked and then the host decide to cancel (for no reason) after agreeing and then I was left to piece together somewhere to stay with no options in the app.

Tried the login link multiple times. Tried to copy and paste the URL into the app. Nothing worked. Very frustrating that I can’t access the app content without logging in, and extra frustrating that login just doesn’t seem to work!

pau.car3 Invite code if anyone needs one. Seems like a great concept. I did the onboarding recently and am excited. Trouble is finding a place to rent for a week or more. I’m sure that will get better with more people joining.

Amazing

I love using Kindred and the app makes it so easy and seamless

Cheaper and much nicer stays. Have stayed 10 times and every place is actually a place you want to spend time in vs a vacation rental

We’ve been on Kindred since launch and have hosted our home, but have found it extremely difficult to use the platform as a Guest and stay somewhere. None of the inventory is seemingly actually available (“Open to Inquires” typically means the opposite). We get requests frequently for our home but have decided that until we can actually stay somewhere ourselves it’s been mostly the platform “taking” without a lot of value to us. It is probably very useful for those who frequent SF-NYC (I imagine for business trips). There’s a ton of inventory for that particular itinerary. Not a ton of other options if you’re actually looking to travel somewhere fun and different.

I'm stoked to travel with Kindred!

I’ve traveled with Kindred twice now and hosted 6 times. Both staying and hosting a Kindred are very smooth experiences. When hosting, the guests have always been respectful and the cleaners are great - my place is always even cleaner than when I left. When traveling, Kindred is definitely the most affordable solution for long (or short) stays. Availability at the right place at the right time can be challenging but it has gotten much easier to find a place as the user base grows

This is a great idea that is poorly executed. The experience as a host is dismal and I do not trust that my place is going to be well taken care of. Feels impossible to find a place to rent without it being more expensive than a hotel or Air bnb.
