A couple of weeks ago, The Washington Post explored the offerings of booking an Airbnb, that is, a cheap bed in a home in one of thousands of properties around the world. Now, this is where it pays to arrive alone. In many cases, you'll be sharing with the owners or renters of the places, so one extra person might be cozy while two might be a crowd.
And it ain't no Ritz. The concept seems similar to couchsurfing, as I wrote about here. Only you pay. Hm. What makes this a good deal? Maybe there are more properties?
Anyway, yours to take a look at. The name, by the way, comes from the fact that the guys who started it bought a bunch of blow up beds in order to host guests. Air B and B, get it?
