Stay Easy, Anywhere

Student friendly startup for customised housing in Paris and Singapore

Finding a house challenge

Looking for an accommodation in a new city can be challenging. Online search leads to hundreds of ads, thousands of listings and ‘too good to be true deals’ that leaves you even more apprehensive. 

• What will be the best area to stay?
• How will be the commute?
• Can I trust the facts and photos in this listing?
• Is it okay to pay an advance deposit?

Enjoy your new city experience

At XACCO, we believe that International study experience is one of the most cherished part of our lives and your stay should add to many more pleasant memories rather than be a source of stress and confusion. We have tailor made our services around the needs of students because all our team has first hand experience abroad and we try to make it better for you.

What do we do differently

Bookable Choices

We provide you with housing options that you can ‘actually book’, not the options you can ‘only look’. We are not a listing company that displays all the ads by the renters. We verify, check and then recommend.

Customized Search

Everyone has a different choice, preference and budget. If you are looking for specific choice of area or any particular features, you can choose the customized search option. We can check, verify and recommend.

Stay with your friends

The fun of staying abroad adds up when you stay with your friends. We offer you the whole apartment rather than making you choose one particular room. What’s the fun of 4 friends living in 4 different places?

No advance depsits

Financial transactions can be overwhelming for a student, specially in a new city with a constant fear of being cheated or false promises. At XACCO you pay only after a confirmed booking.

No Need for Guarantor

In many cities you can’t rent a house without a local guarantor, some house owners ask for detailed paperwork. Since we manage all our apartments, you can just sign a digital contract.

Services

Staying for a long time entails you getting an impeccable maintenance and service support. XACCO operations team is always available to you if anything breaks down or any assistance.
