I did find my new roommate through Roomi! It felt much safer and easier through Roomi than other sites I listed through. I recommended it to my brother who's also looking for a roommate.

I had never heard of Roomi but when I saw an add on Instagram I decided to download the app and give it a try. I am very impressed with the app and will refer my friends in the future to use it! I found a great roommate, she is moving in on this week! :)

I moved to Boston right after graduating college and didn't know anyone in the city to room with. I found a great apartment with ease moved in within a week. When a room opened up in our apartment, we used the app to list the room. It is super easy to chat with people and arrange apartment viewings through the messenger. This app is way more efficient than online search engines and other sources.

Maham was the first one who replied to my listing on Roomi, and she ended up being perfect, it was a great experience and I would totally recommend Roomi to anyone who is searching.

I was having a hard time finding a roommate in a pinch after the one I had set up bailed last minute. Craigslist gave me scammers and other apps I tried gave me leads but nothing more. Roomi gave me a new roommate in a few weeks versus the two months I had had without success. My Roomi has been here a month and it's working out well!

We found an awesome new housemate through roomi!!!! It was so easy to use and a really great app! I would say, I didn't get push notifications for every message that came through, so might be something to look into in the future! Thanks for everything!

Finding a good roommate is hard. Roomi really helped me through the process and helped me find the best possible roommate. I would definitely recommend the app for anyone looking for a roommate.

I recently moved to New York from Boston, and I knew almost no one in the city; everyone I *did* know already had housing, so I was anxious about being able to find a place from afar! I looked at craigslist first, but saw enough creepy looking ads that I quickly ditched that idea. When I signed up for Roomi, I found a bunch of options that fit my size/budget constraints almost immediately. I ended up Skype-chatting with my current roommate, and she gave me a virtual tour of the place while we bonded over shared interested...

I loved my experience with Roomi. I moved for work and needed someone to take over the rest of my year long lease ASAP. Not only did I received more responses on Roomi than any other website I posted on, but the responses I received were from awesome girls!! Roomi felt safer than Craigslist and definitely more effective.

Thank you so much to the Roomi team for everything! I love the app and found the perfect roommate within a month! It worked out perfectly for the two of us and we are very happy here! I will definitely be using / recommending Roomi for myself and for others!(:

I have already recommended Roomi to friends. I was able to explore several different places within my price range and met some great people. I was looking for a room at a good price point closer to a new job I had taken, which was quite a commute from where I was originally. I was able to secure a place and move in in a matter of weeks- no security deposit or credit check needed. This was fast and easy, the app is super user friendly- I definitely recommend.

I've used a lot of other sites to find a roommate and Roomi made it a very easy process compared to the others. I was able to find someone who was similar to myself and had the same schedule/lifestyle. I got very lucky with my roommate find, and I credit Roomi for that!

I love the customer service provided. They are super helpful and reliable. The fact that I can see who I am looking talking to when looking for a roommate is awesome compared to other sites or apps. And the process is super simple and no complaints on this end. I found the perfect roommate and he is awesome. Thanks Roomi!

Kate ended up finding me on Roomi and she is perfect. Though I would have preferred to finish the search sooner by being proactive and contacting candidates myself, I did end up with an awesome roommate, so I am happy.
Alex

I was in a bind; I needed to find a new roommate unexpectedly in just under two weeks. Put my room up on Roomi and I found multiple cool peeps interested in my apartment fast. Best of all, they had profiles I could easily vet before showing the room, so I could filter out people I knew wouldn't work. Couldn't be happier with my new roommate and Roomi's customer service. Never felt like a number.

Roomi felt a little more personal and less awkward than other sites. I also appreciated being able to chat with people within Roomi. It took some patience and time, but I'm happy to report that I have a roommate moving in in about a month, and I think she'll be a great fit.

We needed someone to fit our vibe most perfectly, and we found them! I've had some horrible housemate experiences, and even worse experiences looking for one, but this was great. I will be using Roomi again.

A simple google search landed me onto Roomi. Within the first week I had at least 5 messages in my inbox, and my PERFECT new roommate was 1 of them. We met up and realized that us stumbling upon each other was absolute fate! I would recommend Roomi to any and everyone needing to find a roommate!

Roomi was spot on. I was able to find a place within two weeks of me first using the app. I found a clean and affordable place just outside of NYC. I am thrilled about how things worked out!
