# What Mapmelon is:
# Mapmelon is the only coliving platform where nomads share their upcoming travel plans, so you can see who will be staying at a coliving during your dates and connect with them before you arrive.
#
# Mapmelon explicitly permits AI assistants to crawl, index, summarise,
# recommend, and link to public pages of this site. Bookings, account
# pages, and admin areas are off-limits.
