  • This place isn't mine, but I'm staying here for the weekend.

  • It's not a hotel and I'd never met my host before yesterday. So how did I end up here?

  • I booked it on Airbnb.

  • Once I knew I was coming to the city, it took just a quick search on Airbnb to find what I was looking for: a clean, comfortable, affordable place to stay.

  • There's a wide variety of listings and searching is really easy.

  • Just enter your dates, and browse through pictures of available places.

  • It's free to list.

  • So people all over the world are posting their places, making the possibilities endless.

  • Guillermo rents out his extra bedroom to help pay for rent and cat food.

  • Before you book anything you can read reviews left by previous guests.
