About CasaVoya

Authentic stays.
Honest prices.
The real New York.

CasaVoya is the vacation rental platform that unlocks the homes the big sites can't show you — curated apartments, brownstones, and lofts, booked directly with the people who own them. No service fees. No surprises. Just great stays.

Why guests choose CasaVoya

Three things we do differently

Exclusive Inventory

Homes you won't find on Airbnb or VRBO.

Airbnb in New York today is mostly hotels. We work directly with a curated network of local hosts to surface the apartments, brownstones, and lofts that are unavailable anywhere else. You can only find them on CasaVoya.

Zero Booking Fees

Book direct. Skip the OTA tax.

Airbnb, VRBO, and the other big sites tack on 14–18% in service and booking fees — typically $200–$500 on a multi-night stay. Because CasaVoya is an introduction service that connects you with the host directly, you keep that money for dinners out, Broadway tickets, or a longer stay.

Safe and Reliable

Vetted hosts. Verified listings. Real reviews.

Every host in our network is screened and every listing is checked before it goes live. Our reviews come from guests who actually completed a stay — no anonymous drive-by ratings. And our team is always available by email: no chatbots, no long hold times.

Our Story

Born in the toughest rental market on earth

CasaVoya started in 2023 as ManhattanBNB, built for one of the most heavily regulated short-term rental markets on the planet. When New York City's rules wiped out most whole-apartment stays from the major booking sites, hotel prices spiked and travelers — especially groups and families — were left without good options.

We took a different approach. Instead of fighting the rules, we built a model that works within them: a trusted introduction service that connects guests directly with vetted local hosts. Compliant. Transparent. And dramatically cheaper for travelers, because there's no platform middleman skimming 14–18% off the top.

In 2025 we rebranded to CasaVoya and began expanding the model to other cities where regulation has created the same gap between what travelers want and what's actually bookable — Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Tokyo. The mission is the same one we started with in New York: democratize access to authentic, affordable travel, one home at a time.

"The current search experience for NYC is broken — travelers see a fraction of what's actually available. We're giving people a way to find authentic, affordable housing that simply doesn't appear in standard search results."
Alex Ramani — Managing Partner, CasaVoya

Who we serve

Built for the trips hotels can't handle

Some trips don't fit in a hotel room. Ours is the platform for the ones that don't.

Groups of 4 to 6

Cousins reunions, bachelorette weekends, work crews. One roof, one kitchen, one shared living room — for less than four hotel rooms.

Families with kids

Bedrooms with doors that close. A washer for the inevitable laundry. Space to spread out after a day of museums and subway rides.

Longer stays

A week, two weeks, a month. Hotels stop making sense fast — homes with kitchens and laundry start to.

Hundreds of vetted homes. No booking fees. Direct from the host.
