Stayfarer/Stays
The room, and the person who owns it. Nobody in between.
Every stay here is written up by us, in the owner's own words, with the floor plan, the real wifi speed, where the car goes and what the building is actually like. You message the owner and they answer. That is the whole booking.

See the apartmentWhy these pages exist
Stayfarer's day job is making independent stays findable, so that a traveller asking Google or ChatGPT where to stay in a town hears an owner's name instead of only a platform's. These are the properties we do that work for, and their pages live here rather than on some address nobody ever visits.
Each one is researched and written by us and checked by the owner. Rates, dates and keys stay entirely with them. We take a booking from nobody and touch a payment from nobody, which keeps the writing honest: the page has to earn the message, and the owner has to earn the stay.
