Choose Co-Desk if…
You run coliving, or coliving and coworking together, from one house to many locations. You want stays, leases, rent, door access, a branded resident app and your website in one platform.
Choose COHO if…
You are a UK landlord or letting agent with traditional tenancies and HMOs, and tenant referencing and UK compliance matter more to you than a community or coworking space.
