MyPlace is the easiest way to get hooked up with a place to stay.
Real trust is based on social connection and friendship,
not reviews from strangers.

How it works
Your friends
Using your contacts we show you places to stay around the world via your real friends and mutual friends.
Real homes
People share their actual homes here. This is not for profit driven short term rental businesses.
True homesharing
Share, swap, and exchange your private homes among trusted peers. Rates, if any, are for covering costs - not short term rental income.
Privacy
Your place is only visible to your friends on MyPlace and if you choose, their friends. Share only with the people that you trust.
Host friends while you travel
Empty houses create waste and cost money. Build your social capital by hosting a friend and covering your expenses.
Find your global community
Activate your social network to discover and build your own personalized global community.
Can we make society better if we just share more?

How does money work?
We call it “exchange.”
MyPlace isn’t a short term rental site, so things are a little different.
Hosts offer their places for “exchange”
Exchange types are:
- Cost covering
- Offer as a gift
- Just pay the cleaners
- Watch my plants, dogs, cats or general help
- Swap
On MyPlace we don’t charge a transaction fee so you can share your place however you like.
Values
Can we make society better if we just share more?
Trust · Trust is built on relationships. Who we meet, know and connect with is who we trust.
Sharing · Sharing strengthens communities, and when we share, we have more together.
Privacy · Your home is your sanctuary. It is only visible to the people you choose; your friends.
Belonging · By sharing our homes, we create a sense of home anywhere in the world.
Inclusivity · Everyone shares with their friends. We’re working hard so that soon everyone can join and share with their friends.
