True. I think the value is twofold.

1) The community. Like similar platforms, this could spawn a like minded community of digital nomadic workers.

2) health and productivity. In lots of knowledge intensive industries, office space is being shut down very fast. If you need to work somewhere quiet and private, millions of people would only have their own bedroom and this could be a great alternative!

But if you're travelling, wouldn't you just AirBnB?

Would a stranger's extra room be better than one's own room?

I guess I'm just not seeing the benefit.

Really good points and we are thinking hard about those.

It would inevitably be different to Airbnb in price, location and opportunity. People are increasingly looking to explore non-conventional holiday/working destinations.

In some circumstances another room might be better. If yours is small/loud/unproductive/depressing etc.
