| I really liked the site, in general. I could see using this when traveling with my family to find places to stay once there are more listings available. Some thoughts as I browsed the site: * Everything was slow. The "About" page was the worst but the listings themselves took 5-10 seconds to load. Later, I waited 30 seconds for the search page to pop up. (I was searching for a town that had no listings from the front page.) * The search form cleared the location when I navigated "back" to it from a listing. It'd be good to allow for searching, click a listing, back, click another listing, ... * If I'm looking at renting a house are there restrictions on the times/dates? If so, I didn't see that indicated on any of the listings. Do I get the whole house or am I sharing it with the owners? * I found the wording for some things a little strange: "This place does not welcome pets :(" Seems negative for some reason. How about, "No pets, please."?
"We don't have security mechanisms as 24-hour security, fire alarms, safe deposits, etc." I wasn't sure how to parse that the first time I read it. I'd suggest keeping it simple - "Not available"?
"Invite to Submit Offer" Gives the impression of a lot of steps. "Request a quote" seems more familiar.
* The lack of prices on most of the listings was surprising. What does "Upscale" translate to? If I have to interact with the owner I don't want to waste my time or theirs. Perhaps a price range would help. |
About the restrictions on times/dates, usually hosts provide their arrival/departure policy so if you haven't seen the information it maybe because it was not provided yet.
Our marketplace allows hosts to provide opaque personalized rates, so sometimes the hosts prefer not to make their rates public and provide the offers by request. I love your price range suggestion to clarify what is Upscale, we will try to add it soon.
