Our take
Existing short-term rental platforms provide temporary homes for business travelers and families, but options are often limited and compromising. Spaces often don't provide the facilities that users require to work and live comfortably, and options that do are often unaffordable.
Kasa provides a platform for short-term rental of standardized properties, with every listing providing 24/7 contactless check in services, reliable and fast Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchens and other essentials for comfort.
This unique approach, which provides the essentials for stays at an affordable price, allows Kasa to stand out form other short-term rental services such as Booking.com and AirBnB. The company recently expanded from its apartment and hotel room speciality to include luxury single-family vacation rentals, which should allow it to capture interest from a new kind of consumer.
