Use Cases

• Last-minute getaway: A Dreamer posts a 3-day window. A nearby owner fills otherwise empty nights.
• Mid-week gap-fill: Managers fill Tuesday–Thursday quietly without discounting in public.
• Repeat guest direct: A known traveler books direct next time — no fees, no algorithm games.
• Corporate housing: An HR manager posts needs for several cities; private bids roll in within hours.
• Seasonal stays: A Dreamer posts for 2–3 months; an owner offers a discounted seasonal rate.
• Pet-friendly matches: Dreamers specify pets; only matching owners see the request.
• Owners abroad: Fill your home while away without public exposure or scraped calendars.
• Big-event surge: Festival or finals week — accept serious, verified demand quietly.
• Relocation & repairs: Families displaced by storms or renovations post; local owners respond quickly.
• Never-planned-to-host homeowner: Someone with no listing sees a strong offer for a place just like theirs and agrees to a one-off stay.
• Upsell add-ons: Airport pickup, late checkout, pet fee — all negotiated privately in one thread.
