Last week, we announced via TechCrunch that we would be one of the first larger companies to accept payments via Bitcoin. The implementation of this quite simple technical step did cause a stir. Now, we are taking it one step further: From today, 9flats hosts are able to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment.

Our guests were asking for other payment options an we answered by implenting a new booking payment method. As first market place of peer-to-peer renting we are proud that we've decided to integrate Bitcoins into our payment processes next to other established payment options such credit card and Paypal.

Here are some of the latest improvements to the 9flats website we’ve made for you as a guest or a host.

When Angelina Jolie films show in Germany, cinema audiences hear the voice of Claudia Urbschat-Mingues. She's also a 9flats host, and she's appeared again in our TV ad, to publicise the 9flats way of travelling.

Exciting news! 9flats has expanded into North America, with the acquisition of leading private rentals firm iStopOver.

20,000 of you have 'liked' our Facebook page. In honour of you, we had a little photo shoot outside by the tram tracks.

We recently sent out a survey to gauge host satisfaction and to hear your feedback and ideas. Here's what you said...

We launched a competition on our new favourite social media site, Pinterest, to win a €100 9flats voucher, just for showing us a city you love.

Many families travel with us, and we know how important value for money is to them. So we're proud to be the first to offer discounts for children.
