Private Home Rentals

Rent your home to people you actually trust.

A private, invitation-only rental platform built on real social networks. No strangers. No platform fees. Just trust.

See how it works

Three steps. No algorithms.

One Degree replaces platform trust with personal trust. You only rent to people connected to someone you know.

🤝
Step 01

Build your trust circle

Vouch for people you personally know and trust. They become part of your network — and their connections become visible to you.

🏠
Step 02

List your home privately

Your listing is invisible to the public. Only people in your trust network can see it — no SEO, no strangers browsing your place.

Step 03

Connect directly

Handle the rental yourself — your terms, your contract, your price. No platform middleman. No 18% service fee.

Trust changes everything.

Airbnb spends billions engineering trust between strangers. What if trust was already there?

Traditional platforms

  • Strangers with star ratings
  • 18%+ service fees
  • Subject to STR regulations
  • Sanitized vacation units
  • Platform mediates disputes

One Degree BNB

  • Vouched by someone you know
  • No platform fees
  • Private listings — likely exempt
  • Real homes, real connections
  • Social accountability does the work

Would you rent your home to a stranger with 5-star reviews?

Be honest. There are no wrong answers — we're genuinely trying to understand.

What if they were vouched for by a close friend?

"I know this person — they'll take care of your place."

Which side are you on?

We're building this for real people with real homes. A few quick questions will help us build the right thing.

🏡

I have a place to share

You own or rent a home you'd consider sharing with the right people.

🧳

I'm looking for a place

You travel and want access to real homes — not anonymous vacation rentals.

A few questions for hosts

Have you ever rented your place out informally — to a friend, coworker, or friend-of-a-friend?
What's stopped you from listing on Airbnb? (pick all that apply)
Would you rent to a friend-of-a-friend if someone you trust vouched for them?

A few questions for travelers

How do you usually find places to stay when traveling? (pick all that apply)
Would you prefer staying in someone's real home over a vacation rental?
Would you trust a personal vouch from a mutual friend over platform reviews?

You're in.

We'll reach out when the private beta opens. In the meantime, think about who you'd vouch for.
