Spare room is awesome.
This app is great I like the way the verification process works I like how they eliminate the possibility for scams. An absolutely amazing app, that is useful to many students with a tough schedule between work, school, and travel. You can look for apartments or rooms I highly recommend this app.

I'd like to thank this website that helps to look up rooms easily with mail updates of related research and easy messaging for the listing owners.
I didn't conclude an agreement and got a room yet. However the website experience is user friendly and easy to reach out the subletter and the mails with related research results are great one.

Requested Contact
I hadn't received a response for my ad inquiry in a few days. I reached out for a contact. Richard helped. The next day I was contacted and now I have an appointment to view the spare room.

This site is AWFUL for property owners!!
This terrible site sends me only people looking for a room in the sticks 50 miles away from my city property. Also, 100% of the "inquiries" have budgets less than half of my rate. I have spoken to support to no avail, yet they continue to take my money. Not anymore. Canceled.
