Recent improvements now live

Our community is at the heart of everything we do. We're dedicated to creating spaces where everyone feels welcomed, valued and a part of the mission at houfy.

Transparent Pricing In compliance with California’s Transparent Pricing Law (SB 478), all advertised prices now include the full cost—covering all fees and taxes. To reduce confusion, we’ve simplified the booking summary to clearly display the total price upfront. Detailed breakdowns remain accessible and expandable, reflecting our best effort to meet legal requirements of price simplification while staying true to our commitment to transparency.

UI Improvements Explore an improved search results experience with our new collapsible map and streamlined, photo-centric grid—ideal for browsing on mobile.
