Introducing the RAP App. Where Creative Spaces Meet Creative Services.
Built for Creators. Business Owners. Hosts. And the Travelers who connect them all.

POETRY
Every RAP House guest sees this the moment they check in.
Already Moving. Already Growing.
*Based on 2024 traveler activity across three RAP House properties.
Creative home in the heart of DC. Curated Hip Hop art, full entertainment setup, outdoor space. The flagship RAP House experience.
Creative space for community. Modern interiors with Hip Hop Golden Era design, open layout perfect for groups and creative gatherings.
Inspired by creative arts. Bold interiors, curated music memorabilia, and a vibe that hits the moment you walk through the door.
Every dollar these travelers spend on food, services, and experiences is a dollar that could flow to a business in this app.
"The space blew us away. Perfect for our team retreat — the art, the layout, the vibe. You can feel the intention behind every room. Already planning our next visit."
"I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs and this is the first one I've ever wanted to live in permanently. The culture just hits different here."
"Loved this Airbnb by far one of our favorite...BOOK!!!!"
These are the travelers your business gets access to.
Every Person In the Ecosystem Wins
Arrive at a RAP House. The wifi, the guest guide, everything in the house points to the RAP App. They use it to find food, book services, discover art, and plan their entire stay.
Featured inside the app with exclusive guest discounts. When a traveler opens the app looking for somewhere to eat or spend — your business is what they see first.
Artwork inside every RAP House has a QR code. Guests scan it, land on the creator's profile in the app, and can purchase the piece or book them directly. The wall becomes a storefront.
Plug your property into the ecosystem. Your guests get a fully configured RAP experience. You earn off the top on every add-on service they book during their stay.

DC Is Just the Start.
The RAP App is live in Washington DC with three active properties and 500+ travelers annually. Every new city follows the same model — RAP Houses open, the app activates, local businesses get access to a new stream of curated travelers. You're not just getting listed in DC. You're getting in before every market we enter.
Founding business listings carry over to every new market at no additional cost.*
*Subject to availability. Founding cohort only.
Your Work. Inside Every Stay.
Every piece of artwork in a RAP House has a QR code. Guests scan it during their stay and land directly on your profile in the RAP App — where they can purchase your piece, explore your portfolio, or book you for a service. The house becomes your gallery. The app becomes your storefront. You keep what you earn.
Turn Your Property Into a Revenue Generating Experience.
Most Airbnb hosts earn a nightly rate and stop there. RAP hosts earn that plus a percentage of every add-on service their guests book during the stay — chef sessions, photographer bookings, curated experiences — all facilitated through the RAP App without touching Airbnb platform terms.
Guests connect through the app the moment they arrive. No printed codes. No friction. A seamless check-in experience that immediately puts the RAP ecosystem in their hands.
Property controls accessible directly through the app. Guests manage their environment without hunting for remotes or bothering the host.
A fully branded neighborhood guide built into the app. Local recommendations, house rules, check-in instructions, upcoming RAP events, and everything they need — all in one place. No printed binder. No outdated PDF.
Every piece of art in the house has a QR code. Guests scan, land on the creator's profile, and can purchase the piece or book the artist directly. Your walls generate revenue for the creative community without any effort from you.
Curated snacks, drinks, and RAP merchandise available to purchase directly in the house. Guests spend. You earn a cut. Zero management on your end.
Guests can book a private chef, photographer, DJ, or stylist directly through the app during their stay. Every booking generates revenue split between the creator and the host property. You earn off the top without doing anything extra.
Guests see live RAP events, Curated Cuisines dinners, and local experiences happening during their stay. They book directly through the app. Your property becomes a gateway to the full RAP ecosystem.
Message your guests through the RAP App instead of back-and-forth on Airbnb. Keeps communication clean, on-brand, and reduces platform dependency.
Your Creative Guide. Always In Your Pocket.
Everything you need for your stay — wifi, house guide, local recommendations, art you can actually buy, experiences worth having — all in one place. Discover RAP Houses, local businesses, events, and creatives curated around the culture. Every property. Every city. One app.
The Ecosystem Is Already Moving.
Travelers are already staying. Businesses are already being discovered. Creators are already selling. The only question is whether you're inside it or not.
