I've used it as a guest a few times, most recently to find places that could hold 8 people on a recent trip to Europe. I haven't had any negative experiences, but you do occasionally hear horror stories both from the guest and host side.

I was looking for a place to stay for three or four weeks about a year and a half ago. The places had a fourteen day cutoff. I'm not sure how much time had to be in between stays, but I bailed on the idea after that and just got a hotel room. I'm not sure if it was their decision, or if it was a state or municipal law

We’ve used them before to host guests from out of town, positive results, no complaints from us, I do recommend trying it out.

I've used them twice and now it's my preferred way to stay. We went to DC in March. I got a 3 bedroom house in Maryland for under $100/ night. It was great. Patricia and I had our own room, my parents went with us and had a room, and the girls shared the 3rd room. Then last month, Patricia and I went to Memphis for 4 days. We got a 1 bedroom apartment that was located between Beal Street and the Cannon center. It was an easy walk or trolley ride to everything in that part of town. We also had a great view of the Mississippi River from our room. We paid $79/ night. The Marriott was practically across the street. People were paying $200+ a night to stay there. We also had free parking. A nice bonus

I'm considering renting out my house on Airbnb. I live between Branson and Springfield, so I'm hoping that my location will be popular. I'm getting married August 1. We both own our home, my tech business can operate anywhere, so the decision came down to the better schools for our girls. Rogers has some of the best schools around, so I ended up being the one to move. But, I want to keep my home. We will likely move into it when the girls graduate. So, I. I'm thinking that Airbnb may be my best option to cover the mortgage and insurance.

Used it in Vegas when friends and GF aren't around. Got a nice "room" with a shared bathroom for $23 a night. Used it a hand ful of times before and had no issues. Never tried it with the landlord side, just think it would get exhausting doing short term rentals and the admin time.

Never as a landlord but numerous times as a renter. 95% great experiences and once in a while a minor issue like temperature or bugs but all good for the most part. NEVER had a dickhead as a landlord/renter so that saves much aggravation.

It’s the only way that I travel anymore. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with it.

That could very well be the case. I called down to two of the three that were in Houston, and they both said that there was a fourteen day limit. I didn't even try the last one after that

I joked with my sister that we should do this with the farm house.
If you want to get away-I have the place for you. No neighbors. No towns. Just open space. Rustic. If we could pull this off for 50 weeks a year-it would be worth it.

AirBnB came on the scene about the same time I realized how much I dislike hotels. Nothing but good experiences so far.

As a landlord.....we use and LOVE evolvevacationrental.com
They aggregate the industry....Airbnb, Homeaway, VRBO to do your marketing and provide you renters. And they take care of all the maintenance and cleaning for less than a property management company. Most landlords don't calculate the costs of maintenance or the availability of maintenance contractors. Renters expect things to be fixed ASAP. |
