KeyNest
Overview
Hand over your keys the smart way. Simple and secure key exchange solution for Airbnb hosts, serviced apartment operators, and real estate agents.
KeyNest was founded in 2016 by two Airbnb hosts, Marc and Florian. Marc was getting fed up with changing his plans to meet Airbnb guests who were arriving late, so he asked his local cafe to hold the keys for him – and that’s when KeyNest was born.

Recommended For the Following
KeyNest is recommended for any hosts or property managers who have decided smart locks are not a good fit for some or all of their properties or as an affordable backup in case of smart lock failure. KeyNest works well with properties with communal entrances where a smart lock wouldn’t be an option. It doesn’t require any hardware to work and no installation/ de-installation costs, so it’s a great choice for hosts looking to save on their check-ins.
