The housing platform for international students.
Search and book your next exchange home easily, with no barriers.
Finding an apartment usually looks like this
Finding housing during your exchange is the first hurdle, even before you arrive in the country.
Scattered offers
You don't even know where to start: Facebook, Marketplace, private groups, unverified portals.
Informal market
No signed contracts, no defined rights. If something goes wrong, you have nothing to fall back on.
Dubious listings
Old photos, misleading descriptions. You never know what you'll actually find on arrival.
Cash payments and hidden fees
Deposits sent to personal accounts and extra fees that appear at signing.
No support
If a problem comes up during your stay, there's no one to turn to. You're on your own.
No guarantees
If the property doesn't exist or the contract falls through, you lose your deposit with no way to recover it.

Never aloneFive people, one shared mission
Flatmaters was born from three exchange students in Chile. We arrived not knowing anyone and experienced first-hand how hard it is to find a place to live when you come from abroad: an informal market, little security and no help.
That experience led us to create Flatmaters. A platform designed to make arriving in another country simple, with accessible housing and a booking process without barriers.
Because the exchange adventure begins when you find the right home.
