Overnight

Overnight was a company that had developed a platform that could be used for booking short-term overnight stays. The platform was a marketplace that could be accessed via mobile application. Those looking for accommodations could book stays with local hosts in places such as California, New York City, and New Zealand. Guests would need to verify their identity using Facebook, their phone number, government ID, or credit card. They would also be able to verify their identities with ratings, reviews, and showing that they have mutual friends with the host. The stated mission of the company was to make travel more accessible and attainable for everyone. The platform included features designed for women travelers, in conjunction with the travel group Girls Who Travel.

People wanting to offer accommodations to host travelers could sign up through the company's website or iOS mobile application. Hosts could add their listing with photos and a description and set their availability to when they wanted to rent out their accommodation. To be ranked high in search results, hosts needed to respond to guests in a timely manner when requests were sent. There was also a feature that allowed hosts to list their accommodations exclusively for people within their network. Hosts could set different prices for their friends and network than for what was available to other guests on the platform.
