Kasa
Looking for another way to find the perfect stay? Characterized by Forbes as “a more formal Airbnb,” Kasa was founded in 2016 by Roman Pedan ENG10 W10 to help travelers locate reliable short-term bookings. The startup’s differentiator: The company has amassed its own portfolio of apartments and hotel rooms, meaning Kasa — rather than individual owners — styles each space, provides amenities, and handles check-ins and departures. The company operates at some 60 locations across more than 40 U.S. cities and even has spots in Tokyo.
