What does MetroFlats.com do?
MetroFlats.com is a secure vacation rental marketplace looking to change the way you travel. We believe in the simplicity of booking a dream vacation rental securely, easily, and inexpensively. We service vacation rental hosts (property owners) and guests (vacationers), and allow the two parties to transact on the website.
How are they different?
Unlike vacation rental listing websites, MetroFlats.com actually lets the vacationer pay for their vacation rental stay on the MetroFlats.com with a major credit card. The vacation rental industry is highly fragmented, and the goal of MetroFlats.com is to bring standardization to this market. Our design team sought to mimic popular hotel search engines like Hotels.com and Kayak.com so users of the site can locate their vacation rental quickly and easily on a familiar platform.
Why could MetroFlats.com be BIG?
The vacation rental industry is poised for rapid and explosive growth, however the market is still sub-standard and users (hosts and guests included) have little trust for one another. MetroFlats.com seeks to bring standardization and security to this industry.
How they plan to make money:
MetroFlats.com makes a small commission on each reservation that takes place.

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
