9flats NEWS
Great response to iStopOver joining 9flats family
deutsch español
It’s a week now since we announced the exciting news about our
acquisition of iStopOver, our North American peer. We were really happy about the positive response on social media, in the press and most importantly from the new hosts joining our community. So happy that we thought we’d share some of them with you…
On social media…
“Congrats and welcome to the neighborhood!”
“Exciting news! iStopOver is becoming a part of @9flats […] congrats folks!”

Messages from iStopOver users…
We had this lovely email from an iStopOver user which made us smile:
“I commend you & your team for a very fluid and positive transition […] Usually, these announcements are done in a very impersonal and sterile way … all business (and not in a good way). But seeing as 9flats business *is* about people and places and the connection in between, it’s commendable that you not only espouse that philosophy, but that you invite us in, give us reasons to explore what’s there, and inspire us (even more) to step beyond the threshold of our front door into someone else’s front door and see the world from a whole new home. Isn’t that what it’s all about, anyway?!
Bravo!”

…and this very nice reply to our host relationship manager Denise‘s email to iStopOver hosts:
“Hello Denise….. I have a question for you….. When are you coming to visit us….!!! We want to change your mind about your best trip…
Ciao”

Thanks a lot everyone! And we’re looking forward discovering the Americas with you. Like we said, more news next month when the changeover is complete.
