Great properties and amazing people with fair fees Our company needed to rent a place for 3 months in Silicon Valley and I faced the daunting task to find a home in Mountain View suitable for 10 people and with a reasonable price. AirBnb and Vrbo were the obvious places to start the search, but after a few weeks of daily search and messaging dozens of landlords I was really pessimistic - we would probably be in San Jose rather than MV and paying extremely high fees. I consider the aforementioned platforms work great for really short term rentals (2 weeks max, maybe) but when your demand is measured is months, there ir nothing like Faros. We were able to find a lovely place with an extremely thoughtful landlord and fair price. The whole process was a breeze and Faro's team went above and beyond to help us having a great experience. I enthusiastically recommend Faros to everybody looking for a furnished home in monthly periods!

Housing made easy I had the opportunity to intern in the Bay area for a couple months, but finding housing in a new city felt like a very daunting task. Especially hearing stories about pockets of bad neighborhood. Fortunately someone recommended me to check out PadPiper, which made my life so much easier. The website is clean, easy to use, and has all the information I need for choosing a place to live. The customer support is responsive and I knew I could trust the website because Jack knows many of the landlords personally. I would recommend the site to short term student housing, whether it's work related or not.

No customer service No customer service, charged me even though I cancelled before free trial was over. I had to dispute the charge with my bank.

KOPA a total Loser Only a 1-Star because there is not an option for ZERO. There is no customer support, no response to multiple emails and voicemails, and worst of all, no required Kopa-controlled approval on a Kopa-run FB group to list a rental. But they damn sure charged my credit card every month. IMPOSSIBLE to cancel- again, NO RESPONSE to multiple attempts to contact. I had to go through my credit card co. to dispute.

Great platforms for host Got an awesome tenant for a 4-month stay via Kopa! It's refreshing to see a site supports us hosts during COVID-19; I had to convert from short term to long-term and getting a guest for that long through Airbnb isn't easy.
