Homelike, a rental startup for business travelers, arrives in Madrid with the aim of providing accommodation for companies and professionals up to 40% cheaper, compared to a hotel.

The company, created in 2015, opened in Barcelona last March and now reaches the capital after the consolidation of Madrid as a business destination for many companies.

The CEO and Founder of Homelike, Dustin Figge, has pointed out that "opening Madrid was the most logical step" in the expansion project of the company since "the volume of business travelers in the city is very high when concentrating a large number of offices and headquarters of national and international companies".

The company takes the initiative and opens in the city the first rental portal of this type of accommodation that puts in contact, without intermediaries and remotely, professionals who move for work with owners of rental housing.

Through its website, companies or professionals access the Homelike search engine that shows them the available homes in the destination city they want, filtering by price, features or extras and once the house is selected, online booking is made and the contract is signed electronically.

So the process of finding accommodation is done in 24 hours or less.

Homelike has more than 200 accommodations in Madrid

Currently, Homelike has more than 200 accommodations in Madrid, concentrated in the areas of Chamberí, Salamanca and Centro, and aims to reach 2,000 rentals by the end of the year, expanding to areas such as Las Tablas, Pozuelo or Getafe.

Homelike, offers the opportunity to rent their accommodations for periods exceeding 30 days but less than a year, because the average stay of this type of tenants is three and a half months.
