A what3words Case Study
what3words partnered with Airbnb superhosts Casa Silas in Granada, Nicaragua — a colonial city popular with international travellers — to solve a common problem: Nicaragua’s informal, reference‑point based addressing system is familiar to locals but confusing for visitors, making it hard for guests to find vacation rentals and landmarks.
Casa Silas now publishes its what3words address (toys.glitter.redeemed), so guests can enter three words into the free app and get precise, offline directions to the front door, avoiding roaming costs. The result: easier arrivals, fewer lost guests and a scalable way for travel businesses and tourism boards to display simple, accurate, shareable addresses that make every place discoverable.
