History
Dayuse.com was founded in 2010 by David Lebée and Thibaud D’Agrèves, 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.
