Cohousing in Belgium
Osso is a free app for finding cohousing in Belgium: a room, a student room or new housemates. You swipe through places or candidates, match on vibe and plan a viewing right away.
Finding a room usually means endless Facebook groups, listings and messages nobody answers. And when you finally get a viewing, you still do not know whether you want to live with these people.
Osso turns that around. You see the room, and also who lives there and how. You can only talk once you both like each other, so you only meet people you might actually click with. The whole app works in English.
How Osso works
- Swipe through places or housematesLooking for a room? You see places with photos, the rent, the neighbourhood and the people who already live there. Got a room free? You see the people looking for one.
- Match on vibe, not just on square metresYou answer a few lifestyle questions: smoking, guests, early bird or night owl. Osso shows how well you fit. If you both like each other, it is a match.
- Chat and plan a viewingAfter a match a conversation opens. You plan a viewing right in the app: suggest a day and time, the other confirms.
