The houses

Nine living rooms, nine nights

Neighborhoods and nights below. Exact addresses go by text to people who ask, so our hosts' homes stay off the internet.

Choosing a house

Common questions

Why don't you list the addresses?

Because they are people's homes. We text the address to anyone who asks, usually within a few hours, along with the host's name and what is for supper.

Can I visit more than one house?

Yes. Lots of people try two or three before settling. Hosts compare notes and will happily point you to another house that might suit you better.

What should I bring?

Nothing the first time. After that, most people bring a side dish or a bag of something for the kitchen. Hosts will tell you if there are allergies.

Tell us a neighborhood and a night. We will do the rest.
