Pop and Rest is a new London-based travel concept in which consumers can rent spaces to nap.
This experimental concept has a similar premise as Airbnb, instead individuals rent out spaces by the hour, as appose to nightly or weekly. Catering to tired travelers, this service enables individuals to find a quick place to rest, relax or to enjoy a shower. Hosts simply list a space, with photos and a brief description, while travelers in the area search for an abode that satisfies one's specific requirements.
Through Pop and Rest, travelers that don't have immediate access to a hotel room are provided a safe and cost-effective place to relax, while those looking to make some extra cash, can do so in a manner that's less of a commitment than renting one's apartment overnight.
