How booking works
Find a listing on the map, tap Book Now, fill in dates and details, and send your request. Your card is held (not charged) while you wait — the full amount is charged the moment your host accepts. If the host declines, the hold is released and you're not charged. Your host shares their exact location once the stay is confirmed.
