Over the last few years, remote work has become the norm, allowing millions of people around the world to experience a work-from-anywhere lifestyle. This newfound freedom has led to a surge in demand for flexible-term rentals. However, most of the accommodations available rarely guarantee high-speed internet or provide a comfortable workspace, making it difficult to confidently choose a place that can ensure the same productivity levels as a home office.
“As a remote team that embraces traveling while working, we had an inside perspective of this problem and saw the need for a solution,” says Steve Naito, co-founder of Anyplace.

“That’s why we created accommodations specially designed for remote workers called Anyplace Select. Every Select apartment has a fully equipped office setup unlike anything found in other rentals or even at coworking spaces. It includes a height-adjustable standing desk, ergonomic chair, 34-inch ultra-wide monitor, professional microphone, webcam, collapsible green screen, laptop stand, docking station, key light, and more. WiFi speed will never be an issue either, as all units have gigabit internet.”
Anyplace Select has launched in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and New York City. This round of funding will allow the company to aggressively expand its inventory to meet the rising demand in those cities, while simultaneously opening remote work-friendly apartments in additional locations in the United States.
“We aim to become the go-to accommodation platform for remote workers. Broadening the footprint of Anyplace Select is our path to solidify this position.”
