Kindred is the Best
I love Kindred. I have hosted couch Surfers for years. It is so nice to have something similar that allows me to trust people in my home while I'm not there. I could not recommend Kindred enough!

I have had several travel experiences on Kindred in the last 3 years as an early(ish) adopter. Each stay has been just as unique and delightful as the community members opening their homes for hosting. Highly recommend!

We have hosted our home as Super Hosts for 10 years on AirBnb/VRBO often with Pets and never had any problems. One of first experiences with Kindred had guest's dog destroy one of the sofas of our 3 piece set. Worked with Kindred to leverage their advertised "$100K" Host protection - and got offered $209.40 !! The damage is so severe can't be repaired has to be replaced. Absolutely appalling experience

It was really a good option rather than staying at a hotel. The house was completely clean with extra towels and blankets. The customer help service was really slow. I am back from the trip but still couldn't reach the concierge.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mirza! We're really glad the home felt like a true home away from hotel :) We're sorry to hear that our support felt slow to reach you. Our team aims to respond to all emails and in-app messages within 24 hours, but for anything time-sensitive while you're on-trip, there's an Urgent assistance option available directly in the app as we want to make sure you always have a fast path to us when it matters most. We hope the trip itself left you with great memories, and we'd love to host you again. If there's anything we can follow up on, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Concierge!

Our stay at the host’s apartment was wonderful- it was immaculately clean and tidy and so comfortable. A place to really unwind and relax and also enjoy the London sights. Would highly recommend!
