About
bnbstay is a city-focused furnished rental marketplace that connects travelers with local hosts — directly, with no platform fees.
We believe the best way to experience a city is through the people who live there. Our hosts are locals who know their neighborhoods inside and out. They offer furnished apartments at fair prices, and you book directly without a middleman taking a cut.
Platforms like Airbnb charge 14-16% in service fees. That cost gets passed to travelers, and hosts lose control over their pricing and guest relationships. We think there is a better way.
bnbstay lets hosts list their properties for free and connect with guests directly. Hosts who want instant booking can enable Stripe Connect — we take just 1%. Everyone else can receive inquiries and arrange bookings on their own terms.
Medellin is one of the most popular destinations for digital nomads, remote workers, and expats. The city offers incredible weather, affordable cost of living, fast internet, and a welcoming culture. We started here because the demand for quality furnished rentals is real — and growing.
We are expanding to more cities soon. If you are a host in another city and want to be part of the network, get in touch.
bnbstay is powered by BnbDirect, a platform that helps short-term rental hosts build their own direct booking websites. Every host on bnbstay also gets their own direct booking site through BnbDirect.
