Listing a room? Anyone who messages you has already been scored against it.
Example: set a $1,500 budget in SoMa, tidiness and social level 3 of 5, and night-owl hours, then Find my fit. Three rooms come back ranked: SoMa private room, $1,000/mo · SoMa, fit 89; Sunny room in a Mission flat, $1,200/mo · Mission, fit 76; Quiet Sunset room, $900/mo · Sunset, fit 56; and the top one opens into its receipt:
We're opening neighborhood by neighborhood, the ones with the most sign-ups go first.
