There is a story of a real person hidden behind every click
“Chatbot HandyFriends helped me to find accommodation in a short time. In general, renting a house in Poland is not straightforward, but I came across information that refugees can take advantage of free accommodation from Airbnb. It is very convenient that I found all the necessary information at once. It took 4 days to confirm the request for housing. ”
