Review of Peerspace Toronto

What is Peerspace?

Peerspace is a marketplace for locations for renting places that helps people connect to different spaces, listings unique spaces for creative minds for their creations to come to life.

Why should you use Peerspace?

Peerspace should be a website that you should use when looking for a place to rent. Why? you may ask, well Peerspace is a company that helps people connect with all sorts of places. Peerspace allows you to have access to all sorts of places, and all you have to do is book a rental. Peerspace also has genuine fair prices and when it comes to rentals it is super easy to book one, nothing too complicated!

If you are a studio owner, then Peerspace is a great place to list your studio for more people to see your studio, as wells as a photographer you can find many different spaces on Peerspace to try out. Another cool thing about Peerspace is that you don’t have to go to their website every time you need to rent out a new place, just download their app so it is easier to access.

Website Features

  • Organized rentals

  • Easy bookings

  • Worldwide rentals

On Peerspace they provide organized rentals, easy bookings and worldwide rentals. On Peerspace the spaces are organized by prices and types of events, for example, if you are looking for a place to rent on a budget they have the prices listed along with what the space looks like. They also have it organized so you can put in your location, and then Peerspace will find a space in your area or close to where you are. If you are looking for a specific type of space to rent for your event, you can easily type out, the type of event you are hosting, for example, maybe you need a place for a photoshoot, Peerspace will recommend you some of the best places to rent out for your specific event, this feature is super helpful and efficient. When it comes to booking a rental space on Peerspace it is a super easy process, all that is needed is that you choose your preferred location, then you choose your date and time and click start booking and your host should respond by telling you whether the space is available or not and if there are any other questions or concerns about the location they have a messaging feature which connects you to the host. Lastly, Peerpspace has the choice of worldwide bookings! As in Peerspace can be used anywhere. Peerpspace provides connections to spaces all over the world, Peerspace is not just limited to one place which is super convenient, because I feel that most people around the world is so limited to resources, and things are usually only available in America, so it is super convenient when you have a website that does worldwide resources so people outside of America can also have easy access to renting or hosting spaces.

Benefits

On Peerspace you don’t always have to be the one spending money, you can also be the person who is receiving the money. Not only can you rent places on Peerspace, you can become a host as well. What does becoming a host mean? Becoming a host means that you can put up your space on Peerspace and allow people to rent out your space! It is also super easy to become a host, all you have to do is sign up and list your space with pictures and pricing, and with the Peerspaces messaging feature, you will always have contact with your client as well as when they rent out the space the guest will have to input a picture of themselves so the host will know what their guest will look like and hopefully builds a little more trust between the host and their client.

Improvement

On Peerspace they have many spaces to choose from and claim to have easy bookings, but sometimes that isn’t the case, sometimes you can run into problems with your host, like allowing hosts to cancel the space that is being rented last minute without alternatives, or overcharging clients, but these problems can be solved with a little communication and the reading the guidelines thoroughly. When it comes to customer and hosts issues both parties do have to remember that at the end of the day Peerspace only connects people to places, and damages to any of the host’s property is not the companies responsibility, which can be an arguable case. Overall I think Peerspace is still a great website to find locations to use, but their customer service and communication can be improved.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Peerspace is overall a genuinely good website to check out if you are ever in need of a space to borrow.
