Description
About Lodgeur
Lodgeur provides stylish, furnished apartments for short- and medium-term stays. We operate in the United States, where most apartments are rented completely unfurnished and require a 12-month lease—even for people who only need housing for a few weeks or months.
Our apartments come fully furnished and ready to live in, with kitchens, fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, and professional housekeeping. Guests can book a Lodgeur apartment just like they would a hotel—online, in minutes, with instant confirmation. It’s as easy to book as a hotel, but with the comfort of a home—and unlike most Airbnb listings, Lodgeur is professionally operated and consistently reliable.
We serve business travelers, medical patients, relocating families, and others who need a temporary home. Since 2019, we’ve hosted 12,500+ guests and earned 2,000+ five-star reviews. We’re doubling in size this year and growing our team to support that growth.
The Role
As an independent contractor Housekeeper, you’ll prepare Lodgeur apartments for new guests and keep them looking their best during longer stays. You’ll clean, restock, and style each unit to meet Lodgeur’s housekeeping standards, using our mobile app (Breezeway) to view tasks, follow photo guides, and upload completion photos.
You’ll be responsible for delivering the final result—a spotless, photo-ready apartment that earns five-star guest reviews.
