Cercles is a globally curated, private community of inspiring humans. Membership with Cercles is about more than connection - it’s access to impeccable homes, events, and relationships only accessible to and within the Cercles community. The core focus of our first version is members-only home-sharing. Only approved members can see, book, host, and share their homes in Cercles. This way, we ensure a trustworthy and highly designed rental experience for all in our Cercles community. Members need to purchase an annual auto-renewing membership so they can access our community, home sharing, and private events. Prospective members may download the app and submit an application. Once submitted, applications are placed in queue and reviewed continually. Once approved, members need to purchase an annual auto-renewing membership so they can access the full app functionality: our community, home sharing, and private events. Cercles welcomes members who will live our community values – Be generous, Be Kind, Connect, and Respect. Once accepted, members can browse and connect with other members, share their home, or book other members homes while traveling. Terms of Use: https://my-cercles.com/Terms-of-Use.pdf
