Cohousing in Ghent
Osso is a free app for finding a room or housemates in Ghent and the rest of Belgium. Swipe through places, match on vibe and plan a viewing.
Ghent is one of Belgium’s biggest student cities, with Ghent University, HOGENT and Artevelde, and a city young professionals like to stay in. Shared houses are everywhere, from the Overpoort area to Ledeberg and Dampoort.
With Osso you swipe through places in and around Ghent, or through the people looking for a room. If you both like each other, you chat and plan a viewing.
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.
