Paid for a month. Replied to 8 ads. Did not get a single response.
I joined and paid for a month, and made eight inquiries to different offerings. I did not get a single response. I am not in an area where there are many rooms offered, so that could have been one of the problems, and I am also older than many people looking for a room. Nevertheless, it was disappointing not to have had a single response to any of the inquiries I did make. Apart from my experience, the site did seem usable, and really, if one had a good chance of being successful, their fee is pretty modest. Of course, for me that is a big IF. So, while I would suggest that people try the free option, I could not recommend it as a good way to find a roommate. I had more luck with craigslist, a local newspaper, and roomies.com
