Bedly Welcomes Apartment Sharing To The 21st Century

Bedly is the millennial answer to the questionable years may of us have spent searching Craigslist for a suitable short term living space or a roommate that doesn't have the outwardly personality of a serial killer who also collects Beanie Babies that have been in house fires. Bedly, currently active in the high-population centers of Boston, Jersey City and New York City, allow users to rent a room in an apartment for either a fixed term or month to month rate. The differences between Bedly and the classic Craigslist search are similar to the differences between buying a pound of lunch meat from the local deli and finding a pound of lunch meat behind the dumpster of that same deli.

Founded by Marting Greenberg and Benjamin Chester off $2.7m in funding, Bedly wants to create that kind of freedom of movement that is offered by companies like AirBnb.
