History
Dayuse.com was founded in 2010[4] by David Lebée[5] and Thibaud D’Agrèves,[6] both of whom worked at Hotel Amour in Paris. The hotel is popular with touring artists and musicians, who would ask about renting a room for a few hours during daytime as a place to relax before a performance. Lebée and D’Agrèves recognised that there was a gap in the market.[7] [8] [9]
