Community  

For us it’s vital. It’s literally built in.

You’re sharing a space with others and we all know how different that feels when it’s friends vs strangers. We do, however, witness time and time again the magic of the latter becoming the former.  

We take an active, but not artificial, role in understanding motivations, removing anonymity, designing a space for privacy as well as community, and fostering bonds in places begging to be explored. 

A word that’s passed around like hot-cakes.

CONNECT

Get to know the people you’ll be staying with and tap into a wider group for insight, knowledge and recommendations.

EXPERIENCE

Guided by your gut, the knowledge of the crowd and a local understanding, you’ll find what you’re looking for and share memories.

EXPLORE

We’re only just getting started. Soon you’ll be able to hop around the world together, exploring new desintations with ease.

  • Michael

    Medical Entrepreneur

    “It’s more than a super cosy place to live, Yon is a true friendship incubator. Stepping a foot in the city and already having plans offered to me almost everyday, with incredible human beings around, was priceless to me.”

  • Julie

    Photographer

    Yon is a home away from home thanks to the community family which you land right into. Within 2 days I felt at home in a new city with lots of new friends. Each house has its own charm, character and the magic of Yon.

  • Rikin

    Software Engineer

    “Having experienced everything from the solo travel life to digital nomad group trips, I can say that Yon has struck the perfect balance. The coliving environment is unlike any other I’ve tried and the community is super special.”

  • Jess

    Founder

    Yon instantly felt like home… from the warm welcome and generously shared tips of the community, to the beautiful and inspiring interiors, topped by the most fun and respectful flatmates I could have wished for.

  • Vu

    Technical Account Manager

    “Yon was my first shared living experience whilst working / travelling and it surprised me (positively) on so many levels. I had the privacy I needed never felt alone. I’ve gained friends from all over the world.”

  • Calum

    Sales & Logistics

    “There’s never any guarantee that you'll be besties with everyone. But I can say with total honesty that I would happily go for a 1:1 beer/stroll/salsa lesson with any of the other guests or Yon team members.”

  • Ellen

    Coach

    “I took my business on the road, travelling and working remotely for the first time. Whilst Yon’s social side was a big pull, the other main criteria was finding somewhere from where I could work in peace and privacy.”

  • Marnik

    Crypto Trader

    “I moved to Lisbon and booked Yon for the first 2 months because I wanted to meet people. I ended up extending to 9 months. The houses are phenomenal - the work environment and people are amazing (including the Yon team)!”

  • Marcela

    Digital Nomad

    “I have been working remotely in Lisbon for a year and staying mostly in airbnbs. This summer I decided to switch it up and I’m so glad I did! My experience was the perfect balance between comfort, community, and productivity.”

  • Chris

    Clinical Sourcing Manager

    “I was a little hesitant at first as I didn’t know much about Yon and I was going to be living with complete strangers. I took the plunge and I’m so glad I did! The home was epic and I made really great friends.”

  • Brandon

    Video Editor

    “A perfect compromise between a luxury private home and a social space. I’ve had several ‘pinch me’ moments, particularly meeting lots of really cool people.”

  • Anamaria

    UX Designer

    “One of the best choices I’ve made. I met lots of incredible people and made life-long connections. Yon made it so easy to enjoy a new city with fun events and the comfort of a beautiful home.”

  • Kalena

    Community Manager

    “Staying at Yon was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve lived in a few different nomadic communities and Yon is my favourite. I was nervous about meeting people but I made some true friendships and had wild, unforgettable times!”
