I recommend this website. It is way better than all other platforms which do no take care of their customers. Housing anywhere is the only that can guarantee security. Use it!
My application for an accomodation at the Student Village was refused (there weren't enough spots) so my last chance was HousingAnywhere. I found out it's a cosy tool.
Going on an exchange can be stressful, but Housing Anywhere makes finding a place to live easy and it takes hardly any time either. Depending on the city there are lots options, both with or without flatmates. I would recommend anyone to at least try finding something there!
I rented out my apartment through housinganywhere.com. The platform was very easy to follow and adapt to. I rented the flat for two months where many tenants were interested. On the other hand, it was hard to find the suitable tenant which I could trust. Also, rental time spans didn't fit very well! But overall very good experience.
Excellent platform which offers a large choice of housing! I have never been disappointed by apartments I found via Housing Anywhere. This is definitely a really helpful website website we can trust: the secure payment system and the possibility of contacting directly the owner make things easier!
It's easy to sign up and use the platform. They charge you a fee on the first month as safety - if the room is not what was being offered, you can have your full money back and find something else!
Ho scoperto housingAnywhere qualche mese fa perché volevo affittare una stanza per conto dei miei genitori; e mi sono trovata benissimo grazie alla gentilezza del customer service e alla semplicità del sito. Veramente consigliato.
It is easy, quick and safe. Although it is more focused on students going abroad I would recommend it to anyone!
This is the perfect website for students on the go, i didn't expect to find my room as fast as I did, had a great experience too, i definitly recommend it.
Ho scoperto questo sito quasi per caso e subito è diventato il punto di riferimento per i miei studi all'estero. Tramite il portale in pochi passaggi si riesce ad affittare la propria stanza per brevi periodi e soprattutto se ne riesce a trovare un'altra per lo stesso periodo nel luogo dove andremo a studiare. Il servizio assistenza ti aiuta in tutti i passaggi chiamandoti nel caso avessi dei problemi a pubblicare. Superconsigliato!
This is a new device very useful, i can't find a room aboard nothing interested me, but while i can subrent my studentroom it was enough!
First of all, you must know that the people giving 5 stars rating got lucky with their room ad. Housing Anywhere take 25% fee on the first month of rent just to check that the landlord is real, that's it, nothing else! It doesn't give you any other guarantee, and you don't know that unless you dig in the FAQ of the website. YOU NEVER GET A REFUND IF THE FLAT DOESN'T CORRESPOND TO THE AD OR IF THE LANDLORD IS UNTRUSTWORTHY. I got scammed with a room in Madrid that was in a really bad state and by a scamish landlord who said he would keep my deposit as soon as I sign the contract and I never got a refund when I wanted to cancel my reservation within the 48h "safety cancelation period'! I am now suing the company to get my 512 back.
So useful! It is so difficult to find accommodation in Copenhagen, but it helped me a lot. Of course I can't generalize, but the secure payment system makes things much easier and avoid a high number of scams. So, you can trust in Housing anywhere.
Housing anywhere is a huge lifesaver. After being scammed on my first exchange experience, I was hesitant to go abroad again because of all the hassle and stress that finding housing in a foreign country entailed. But after a friend of mine introduced me to this platform, my interest in studying in a new and exciting place was revived. Gone was the worry that I could risk losing my money and end up with nowhere else to go in the middle of the night. The fact that Housing Anywhere would have my back at all times and would keep my money safe was a huge relief. It even made the whole apartment hunting process enjoyable!
I highly recommend this platform to anyone. Especially first-time exchange students who can be at first intimidated by the whole housing process. Trust me, with Housing Anywhere, you are in very good hands!
A very good and really useful idea. Finding an accommodation while going abroad is often difficult and stressful, and Housing Anywhere's security helps a lot. However, having more information on the housing habits according to the place would be great.
I could both rent my room while on exchange and find a room in my new city thanks to this platform, it was very convenient.
Very good service! I think that Housinganywhere is very helpulf to the students who want to study abroad!
Dopo mesi di ricerca su vari siti, ho finalmente scoperto Housing Anywhere.
Fantastico! Il sistema di prenotazione è facile, GRATUITO, e intuitivo!
Gli appartamenti forse costano un po' di più che cercando altrove, ma almeno hai la garanzia che non siano delle truffe.
Great company! Helped me a lot when I was looking for housing for my exchange abroad. Very easy to use, and great customer support.
Easy to use, safe payments are organized, the service is based on a direct exchange between students or individual, more than between estate agencies.

Answer: Not safe. From their Terms and Conditions: Each user must independently verify the identity of his/her respective contract partner (the tenant in case of the provider or the provider in case of the tenant). HousingAnywhere.com accepts no liability for the accuracy of the user contact information entered on the platform. Also, they say they give money back within 48 hour, but it's not so simple and quick!
Answer: It is a scam. The landlords are unscrupulous. You will never get a refund or your deposit back.
