I haven't tried it yet myself, but I have heard people raving about this new service. For example, just recently Airbnb added 'Experiences' to their website, and now you can book different tours and activities (cooking classes, walking tours, etc.) there. I also love that Airbnb is constantly adding new features to the platform.

I personally think that Airbnb offers a much more personal and relaxed experience than hotels. Moreover, I enjoy the fact that I can find unique places to stay on Airbnb rather than going to another soulless hotel. I love having the whole apartment to myself, being able to cook meals in the kitchen, do my own laundry and live like a local. I have visited around 50 countries in the past 6 years and I used Airbnb in almost every one of them. If you think you found your perfect rental, then you may go ahead and book it.īy now, you have probably guessed that I'm a huge fan of Airbnb. Some hosts are willing to negotiate a price a little if you are staying for a longer period of time (a few weeks or months) or if you are traveling in low-season or booking last-minute. You can also contact hosts and ask them any questions you have and even ask for a discount. It's really important because otherwise, you might end up having a not-so-pleasant experience. Once you have picked a couple of places you like, read the reviews from other users. You can also apply other search filters, such as 'price range', 'kitchen', 'wheelchair-accessible', etc. Then put in your dates and select the number of guests and home type (you can choose between 'entire place', 'private room', and 'shared space'). Start your search by typing in your destination.

After that, you are all set and can start looking for accommodation for your next vacation. After you sign up, add your photo and confirm your e-mail address. You can even get a $40 Airbnb coupon code towards your first stay of $75+ if you create an account using this link.

If you haven't used Airbnb before you'll need to sign up first.
