I have used this app several times to find housing while working as a traveling CNA. I have not come across any issues whatsoever until recently. I was relocating down to Geneva, New York and sent two or three owners a message. I have no idea what happened, but I continuously got my name sent to all these different owners of apartments, rooms, etc. in Geneva, New York, when I never even looked at their rental location. No idea how this happened, but I was getting messages from people daily for well over a month. All I could do was email each and everyone back, apologize for their time, and each one of them said that my name and email address was sent to them and then I was interested in looking at the property. this never happens so I have no idea why this occurred. But I have been wanting to touch base with Furnished Finders, and find out how this happened. I also had messages from where I have my apartment in New York, and people were getting my name interested in looking at their property when I am very happy with my current location at home. and then that happened again in Vermont. So I’m not quite sure what is happening but I have to keep emailing people back and telling them I’m sorry, but I wasn’t looking at your property, thank you. So maybe that is something you could look into ASAP. Other than that, Furnished Finders has been wonderful.

Wonderful, warm and welcoming

We came to Albuquerque for 6 months for the birth of our granddaughter. Our stay here has been wonderful. The house has been wonderful. It is a good location for us. Indian School Road is one block away and it is a major access to everything we need. Drug stores, Walmart, grocery stores, family restaurants, upscale dining, a butcher shop that has the best meats, flower shops and entertainment. And a nearby church. And the house is wonderful. 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plenty of hot water. Abundant closet space. A fully stocked kitchen cookware, dishes, flatware, utensils. Just move in and start cooking! Convenient pantry next to kitchen and a full size washer and dryer. A two car garage with an automatic garage door. And even being close to major road it is extremely quiet. Our landlords Alec and Stephanie have also been wonderful. Have always responded quickly to our emails and were available to answer any questions we had. To say the house was fully stocked would be an understatement. It had everything we needed down to Q-tips and dishwashing detergent. Coffee and sugar in the kitchen. And a welcoming bottle of wine! If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay in Albuquerque this would be an excellent choice.

I love that many cities have many listings! As the app has grown, the inability to effectively filter the listings means you are going to spend HOURS reading the details and pictures carefully! You cannot specify that you only want to see listings with a private bath. Landlords do not tell you the maximum # of people you will share a bathroom or refrigerator with. They list a kitchen, when all they have is a mini fridge and microwave. While you can create a housing request, landlords rarely read it - you will be flooded with listings that don’t meet your requirements. I should also be able to filter out landlords with pets on the premises, I am allergic to cats! If they do not show you pictures of the inside of the fridge or cabinets expect NOTHING I them and a packed fridge you can’t find room for a single soda. Kitchen essentials can mean nothing more than a sink and stove. Landlords continue to list multiple properties and rooms on the same listing - that is a violation - but you are expecting a large room and private bath - and you get a tiny room with bunk beds, and 5 people sharing your bathroom! The site never responds to problems with a listing. They use to be wonderful . More often than not, I end up staying in an extended ended stay hotel. (you can also end up in a room next to a baby that cry all the time, so make sure the landlord indicates the rules for other guests AND their VISITORS!
