New shared apartment service for students
About Roof
Roof is a French startup that offers a comprehensive co-living service, primarily targeting students and young professionals. The company operates in the shared housing market, providing fully furnished shared houses with private bedrooms. The houses are equipped with all necessary amenities, including furniture, appliances, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The rent, starting from €430 per month, includes all utilities and maintenance costs, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional student residences or private studios.
Roof's business model is based on renting out shared houses on a monthly basis. The company generates revenue from the monthly rent paid by the tenants, known as "Roofers". The all-inclusive nature of the service, coupled with the opportunity to live in a community-oriented environment, makes it an attractive option for students and young professionals looking for affordable and hassle-free accommodation.
The company has received positive feedback from its users, with a satisfaction score of 9.4. It currently operates five student residences and has over 60 happy Roofers. The founders envision Roof as not just a housing solution, but also a platform that enhances the daily life of students and fosters a positive living experience.
