I’ve mostly used it for vacations and love booking longer stays (4+ nights) to maximize the value. If you’re looking for a place in a popular city, I highly recommend setting an alert so you can book as soon as new homes become available. I did that and scored an amazing stay in Paris for the Olympics last year!

Kindred can be used for all kinds of trips, but it really stands out if you’re looking for a relaxed long-stay to live like a local. I recommend staying at least 3+ nights to feel at home at the new place. This way you can also get a great value for the fees you pay on Kindred.

Also: Kindred is the best resource to do a “trial run” on a city you think you‘d like to move to in the future, since you‘re getting the local experience. Major life hack.

I find that if you have set dates, you need to plan your trip more in advance. I suggest setting an alert for certain dates/locations well ahead of time, especially if it’s not a larger city. While it can be great for scheduled getaways, I find it’s also really great for being spontaneous - sometimes I see a beautiful featured home and even if I wasn’t necessarily planning on going to that location or even a trip at all :)
