What a good rating means
4.5 and above earns the "You're Welcome" trusted host mark.
Guests score friendliness, tidiness and the overall stay after every couch. Scores are public, permanent, and the only currency that matters here.
Community charter: nudity is banned. Listings, photographs and reviews containing nudity or adult material are rejected automatically and the account is removed. Mutual respect keeps every couch safe.
Tourism around the corner
Every listing carries the host's own shortlist of museums, viewpoints and markets within walking distance.
Laundry and laundromats
Opening hours, prices and walking times for the nearest launderettes — written by someone who uses them.
Supermarkets nearby
Where to buy breakfast at 21:00, which market is cheapest, and how far you actually have to walk.
Maps on every listing
An interactive map pin on each stay so you know the street before you book the flight.

A wide couch by the canal window with strong coffee and a spare bike.
CouchSunlit Daybed in a Marais Atelier
A wide terracotta daybed by the tall windows of my 4th-arrondissement atelier. Coffee, a spare set of keys and a hand-drawn neighbourhood map are waiting for you. I work late in the darkroom, so early risers have the kitchen to themselves.

Private roomHeritage Lodge Guest Room by the Fireplace
A timber-lined private room in a 1920s lodge fifteen minutes from the lake. Wood stove, thick duvets, and a drying rack that has rescued many soaked hikers. I leave trail maps on the table and usually cook a big Sunday rosti.
