Ohana Featured in Redfin

We're excited to share that Ohana Housing Co. was featured in Redfin's latest article: 7 Small Apartment Ideas for a Layout That Feels Larger Read the full article here: https://www.redfin.com/blog/small-apartment-ideas/ In the article, our co-founder Ezra Gershanok shares one of the biggest lessons we've learned after helping thousands of people find furnished apartments in New York City: "Ohana has become the largest subletting marketplace in New York City, and after seeing hundreds of apartments, one of the biggest lessons I've learned is that less is more. The apartments that feel the largest are the ones without clutter, where each piece of furniture serves multiple purposes. I live in a small NYC apartment myself, and instead of trying to fit more into the space, I've focused on a few versatile items, like a TV that's visible from both my couch and my bed, which makes the apartment feel both functional and open." We're grateful to the Redfin team for including Ohana alongside other housing and design experts. You can read the full article here:
