Airbnb – Travel Like a Human

Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, give Airbnb.com a shot next time your frustrated with hotel rates.  The site features real apartments and homes all over the world that owners are looking to rent out (ie. one-room, entire apartment, vacation home).  I’ve used them in the past for trips to Portland, Seattle and NYC, each experience has been fabulous.  Rates can vary from $20 per night to stay on someone’s couch to the hundreds for a swanky loft apartment.  The popular listings have plenty of reviews so you know what your getting yourself into.  If you want to travel and stay with people that like to party, those are available as well.  Just be sure to read the reviews and owner profiles beforehand.

Step 1: Find the listing you want and confirm available dates with the owner

Step 2: Book reservation online (Airbnb charges a booking fee)

Step 3: Meet the owner for the keys than go explore the city!
