For people looking

No bait listings: every home verified one by one

Every home is verified and the relationship with the owner or manager is traceable. Direct contact is a separate advantage: you write to the owner and arrange the viewing between you.

The six services for those looking for a home

  • Verified listings only

    Every listing starts with a site visit: we have seen the place. And since 2014 we do not publish owners renting without a contract.

  • Search by city and type

    Single or double room, studio, bed in a share: filter by city and type, and see how far it is from the university or the workplace.

  • 360° virtual tours

    On the site since 2016: we were the first in Italy to put them into student housing listings. You walk through the place before booking a train.

  • The site in your language

    Beyond Italian the platform reads in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Turkish: arriving from abroad, you search in your own language.

  • Direct contact with the owner

    Once registered you see the address and contacts: you write to the owner and arrange the viewing with them directly, with no intermediary in between.

  • AI-assisted customer care

    Documents, contracts, timing, requirements: an AI-based assistant answers at any hour. When a question goes beyond the usual, it passes to a person.

For property owners

Listing costs nothing. Delegating the management is a choice

The four services for property owners

  • Publish your listing, free

    Listing is free. After the check, the property enters the database students and universities consult.

    Let your property

  • Rental management, your way

    You choose how much to delegate: from the listing alone with boosted visibility, to full rental management.

    Compare the offers

  • Guaranteed income

    For owners who prefer a fixed income to managing: HOMA takes on the property, and the vacancy risk with it.

    How it works

  • Property valuation

    Before deciding you can find out what it yields: an estimate of the achievable rent, from the area and the features.

People to accommodate? You need a service, not a platform

The accommodation service team searches for homes to order, supports the people arriving and mediates with owners, on behalf of the university, DSU or organisation that appoints them.
