KINDRED is fantastic. We’ve been using it for about 2 1/2 years and I’ve had zero issues. Everything has been very smooth and transparent.Sometimes I feel like I should be an ambassador when I’m telling people how great it is!

Just did my first 2 hosting with kindred. Excellent experience all around. Their team is super responsive and helpful. Looking forward to our next home swap in a few weeks :)

As a guest and a host, I recommend the Kindred platform. I’ve stayed in massive and beautiful homes in NM, DC, and soon NJ/NY. Being a guest in these homes is a gift. They’re spacious and very welcoming. Hosting is relatively easy to prepare for, and the guests themselves in my condo have been fantastic. The only thing I’d want folks to watch out for is scammy guest requests. I’ve had 3 different scammy guest requests to stay at my condo. They’re often fairly easy to spot and to then reject the request. It’s not at all surprising that scammers want to use such a pro-social platform. Hosts should just use good sense when accepting requests.

Thank you so much for this, NM, DC, and NJ/NY, love to see it! So glad both sides of the experience have felt that way. And thank you for flagging the point on requests, you're 100% right that good judgment goes a long way, and it's something we take seriously on our end too. Always feel empowered to report any suspicious or scam-like requests to our Concierge team so our Trust & Safety team can review and help keep the community safe and fair for everyone. Really appreciate you sharing this, Miri!

"Homes with souls and care", we might have to steal that... just kidding! So glad the connections and the experience have felt that way. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of the community, Sara :)
