I would recommend Nesterly for anyone who is looking to share their home. The process is easy to set up and their customer service is responsive and professional.

Dean Kaplan
Through Nesterly, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of repository of knowledge that you can’t just Google-showing me how to garden, to gut a fish, to pepper French romanticism into life.

Brenda Atchison
Having a great experience as a Nesterly host! My houseguests have been a very good match for me and my home.

Lior Aharoni
Nesterly helped me find a place in a very frustrating reality of infinite search time in facebook groups and prices that many times do not correlate to the value of what you get.
-
Katelyn Folberth
My host and I came up with an agreement that allows me to have lower rent in exchange for help around her home. It’s a great exchange and I would do it again in a heart beat. Throughout the entire process, Nesterly’s staff has been supportive and helpful.
