Kindred Home Swapping vs Places

Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that harnesses the power of a trusted community to unlock a lifestyle rich with travel and human connection. By exchanging homes and apartments with peers, both renters and owners alike can access the opportunity to travel between homes across North America and Europe. HOW IT WORKS Using Kindred is simple: you give a night to get a night. Members can swap homes 1-for-1, or book stays with credits earned by hosting others. For each night you host a member, you receive a credit to book a stay of your own at any Kindred home. Once booked, your Kindred concierge takes care of all of logistics to make hosting and staying a breeze - from professional cleaning, to providing access to our members-only hosting essentials marketplace - so you can focus on enjoying your trip. HOW TO JOIN We are accepting applications at https://livekindred.com. FEEDBACK We’d love your feedback as we build this product and community!

Places helps you discover restaurants, hotels, shops, experiences, neighborhoods, and the corners in between. Every place is curated by obsessives and local experts whose discernment is earned. From intimate bistros to emerging galleries to exceptional stays, if it's on Places, it's worth going. Not sure where to start? Ask Places to plan anything, from a single evening to a full itinerary. New openings surface the moment they're worth knowing. When you're ready, book directly. Reservations from multiple platforms, in real time, so you can move from discovery to experience in a few taps. Save and share the places you love. Follow friends and Curators to see where they're going. Build your own record of what holds up. ––––––––––– Membership is obtained by purchasing a 12-month auto-renewing subscription.
