Flat Name is what you want your flat display name to be. You will be able to see it and all of your guests as well.

Flat URL is the link that you will send to invite guests into your flat. It might reflect the flat name but it does not necessarily have to - feel free to get funky with it. The flat URL that you will type in can be maximum 32 characters, must be lowercase and contain latin letters. Dashes are also allowed.
