From Mom to Market Disruptor: How a Long-Time Host Learnt to Build a Platform That is Winning Over Hosts and Redefining Short-Term Rentals
FlexaStay is a new rental platform where guests post what they want, and nearby hosts send tailored offers. Built by a mother of three using AI, it gives hosts more control, boosts occupancy, and makes booking more human. With smart alerts, cash options, and in-app negotiation, FlexaStay is redefining short-term rentals.
London, United Kingdom, July 21, 2025 --(PR.com)-- FlexaStay, a new short-term rental marketplace, aims to flip the script on traditional booking platforms — and it’s not just the model that is bold. The platform was created by a mother of three who used AI tools to kickstart development from her home, eventually hiring help with a small team of four.
Tired of seeing hosts struggle with low occupancy and no control, she developed FlexaStay to give both hosts and guests a voice — making booking smarter, more flexible, and more human.
“Most rental platforms are one-sided — they tend to favor guests and leave hosts powerless,” she explains. “Hosts are often left waiting, with limited tools to actively attract guests or stand out. It creates an imbalance we are determined to fix, putting both sides back in control.”
How FlexaStay Works
· Guests post what they’re looking for — price, location, dates.
· Nearby Hosts get notified instantly and can respond with tailored offers.
· Guests can counteroffer or accept directly — creating a two-way dialogue.
Unlike rigid, search-heavy platforms, FlexaStay is built for speed, flexibility, and direct negotiation — bringing bookings back to life for hosts who felt invisible on other platforms.
Hundreds of users are already joining, drawn by the unique host-first approach, cash-friendly options, and a platform designed to increase occupancy, not just sit and wait.
Key Features
· Area-based smart alerts so hosts can act fast when guests are searching.
· In-app messaging and negotiation tools for transparent host-guest conversations.
· Gamified user profiles with achievement badges, multi-platform review aggregation, and clear identity info.
· Cash payment options, 24/7 multilingual support, and a flat 7% host fee.
“This isn’t just a booking site, it’s a new way of thinking,” added Alexandra. “FlexaStay is a tool for hosts who are tired of being invisible, and for guests who want a more personal experience. We believe, this is the future of short-term rentals.”
FlexaStay is more than a platform. It’s a movement — built with AI, fueled by real-world frustration, and ready to challenge the giants.
