ShortAway is a platform that connects property owners with trusted local concierges for short-term rental management — via Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO. Homeowners find a dedicated concierge to handle everything: check-in, check-out, cleaning, and 24/7 support. Concierges, in turn, offer their services to nearby properties in a flexible and autonomous way.
Two distinct audiences, one cohesive experience
The challenge was to design a mobile app with two completely different journeys — the homeowner's and the concierge's — while keeping the experience consistent and intuitive for both. We needed to create onboarding flows, profiles, search, filtering, direct chat, property management, and a subscription system, all within a clear interface that conveys trust to someone handing over their house key to a stranger.
