What is Livily?

How Livily Works

Livily connects professionally managed furnished rentals with corporate travel buyers, insurance housing providers, staffing agencies, relocation companies, and extended-stay travelers.

• Property managers connect their inventory through a supported Property Management System (PMS) or channel manager. Livily does not support manual, one-by-one listing; a connectivity partner is required to keep inventory, rates, and availability in sync.
• Buyers and travelers can search available accommodations, submit booking requests, or book instantly when enabled by the host.
• Livily centralizes availability, rates, booking communication, payment processing, and reporting into a single platform designed specifically for extended-stay and business travel accommodations.
