Find out about them here!
Finding a new property can be both stressful and challenging. There are many reasons why people chose to rent a property. Short term commitment is suitable for many young couples and sharers, who may not be capable of keeping up with hefty mortgage payments, in the current economic climate. Property rental is a competitive market and it is not uncommon for individuals to feel pressured to secure the perfect property.

"Nothing is a transaction. Everything is a transformation" (Chesky as cited in Ive, 2015). We are
living in a world which is powered, to a large extent, by a shared economy. To view business as
usual will no longer work. Airbnb's success story, what it has done and achieved, is not just a
celebration of creativity - it is the very definition of game-changer. Company overview Avid
travellers will know Airbnb, an online lodging rental platform. People can become a host on
Airbnb by listing their spare rooms while travellers can search for their holiday locations and
ideal accommodation. Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, both graduates of Rhode Island School of
Design, founded AirbedandBreadfast in 2007 to rent out air mattresses and provide breakfast
options in their apartment to visitors attending a design conference in San Francisco. They did so
to pay for their own rental fees. The idea was to offer visitors a way to save some money by not
having to pay prices charged by hotels. A concept totally unheard of in those days, they only
managed to interest three guests. In 2008, they were joined by Nathan Blecharczyk, a computer
engineer trained in Harvard who was also Gebbia's roommate before Chesky. Their initial
intention was to target visitors at large-scale events and conventions, where hotel rooms were
expensive and alternative accommodation was scarce. This effort produced a few thousand
listings in 67 countries. Advertising on Facebook together with email campaigns worked well
during the events. However, revenue dropped to a paltry sum at other times. In 2009, upon
advice from Paul Graham, Founder of start-up incubator Y Combinator, Chesky and Gebbia
went to New York City to gather feedback and learn from their successful hosts. After the visit,
they revamped the website based on the experiences of these hosts and high-quality photographs
of the apartments were added. This was in sharp contrast to the less professional-looking
photographs common on websites such as HomeAway and TripAdvisor. They changed the
company name from Airbedandbreakfast to Airbnb in 2010. The site's offerings were extended
to include the rental of a variety of properties such as entire homes and apartments, private
rooms, castles, boats, manors, treehouses, tipis, igloos and even islands. Business grew steadily
and by 2011, Airbnb raised more than USD 7.2 million and acquired several of its competitors -
Accoleo in 2011 and CrashPadder in 2012. In addition, the company acquired travel guides
NabeWise and Localmind in 2012 which allowed it to provide localised information on various

Stay in Britain Accommodation Guide eBookSimon Jones
Every country has its own forms of tourist accommodation and
the names and standards that apply to these can be confusing for
the overseas visitor. In Britain, this can be even more confusing
as there are four different tourist authorities (England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland), each of whom have individual ideas
about how best to promote their region. In this booklet we
attempt to clarify some of the accommodation types and the
names used for them.
To most people in the general public, AirBnB is the poster child of the sharing economy. It started with a simple concept, nearly six years ago in 2008 : invite people over to your house or apartment, charge a minimal fee for a spare couch, a guest room and sometimes even the whole flat. Connecting property owners and managers directly with customers is at the heart of the sharing economy, also referred by some as peer-to-peer (P2P), or collaborative economy. Today, AirBnB showcases more than 600,000 listed properties across 34,000 cities in 192 countries worldwide.
This is actually the intersection exactly where dreams as well as reality clash. So many happen to be led to think that to be able to take annually off as well as travel the planet you need to sacrifice every thing you’ve proved helpful for, remove a big loan in the bank, and essentially put your lifetime on maintain.

2. What?
A travel revolution in spare rooms and second homes
or empty apartments.
Part of the sharing economy.
Alternative vacation accommodations to the soul-less,
crummy, expensive hotels and chintzy or faded B&Bs.
The cheapest is renting a room in someone’s home.
Pay more and get the whole place: an apartment or
whole house.
3. Why?
I hate hotels – they are smelly and impersonal. And
often expensive.
I hate B&Bs – they are smelly and too personal. I hate
having to be up at a certain time, breakfast in the
dining room, the awkwardness, the cheerfulness, the
bad coffee.
4. Who?
There are lots … and they are proliferating wildly. here
are four current industry ‘leaders’

5. Creative retirement for some
Three years ago, retirees Lynne Martin, 73, and her husband Tim,
68, decided to live a "home-free" lifestyle in retirement. They
gave away most of their possessions, sold their house in Paso
Robles, Calif., found a new home for their dog and started
traveling the world. Since then, they've lived in furnished
apartments in Mexico, Argentina, Turkey, Paris, Italy, Great
Britain, Ireland, Morocco, Portugal and Germany. They are
regarded as senior gypsies who love the lifestyle because they
wanted to have the luxury of really getting to know the people, in
the countries they visit.

7. Before you embark…
Make a list of what matters to you. Here’s mine in
order of importance:
Chemical-free cleaning
No plug ins/scented candles or pot-pourri
Private/quiet-ish/my own space/home from home
A kitchen
Good price

9. Read ALL the reviews
Really really read the reviews.
Listen to your instincts/gut feelings.
Read between all the lines.
Ask yourself – what are the review not saying?
10. Check the photos
Really really check the photos.
Too few is not good.
How old or accurate are they?
Which photos are missing and why?
What are the photos not showing?
11. Check out the owner
Really really check out the owner.
No photo of the owner or a bad photo is not good.
Little to no information is not good.
Check out the reviews of them as guests if there are
any (Airbnb).
Reviews give valuable info about owners.
12. Write to the Owner
Establish a relationship – to make sure there’s a
friendly/accessible/responsive person.
Ask for extra information/photos if needed.
Ask questions cleverly.
Ask difficult questions more cleverly.
13. Check policies
Each site has different policies regarding bookings and
fees and cancelations, plus there may be individual
host variations:
Payment…deposit or full payment…how and when?
Cleaning fee
Booking fee
Cancelation fees/refunds
14. Verification and $$$
Most big rental sites have a verification process for
hosts/owners. And sometimes for guests as well. It can
be confusing the first time you encounter it but this is
a Very Good Thing.
Never pay by check, wire transfer or cashier’s check.
Pay through the website using a payment method that
gives you recourse if things go awry i.e. a credit card.
15. Consumer reports
Renting someone else’s home, condo, or apartment, or swapping your
house with theirs is an appealing alternative to staying in hotels and
motels. But it appeals to scammers, too. They might, for instance,
solicit an advance payment for an imaginary property.
Or you might unwittingly rent a property in foreclosure just in time
for the bank to toss you out.
Sometimes the rip-off comes from a renter who boosts the price or
doesn’t deliver what was promised.
Or the property might be in New York City, where short-term rentals
are illegal.
Homeowners’ associations can also derail your dream vacation.
16. Consumer reports – cont.
Use a listing site such as Flipkey which conducts landlord
background checks and authenticates properties, or HomeAway
and VRBO, which provide a $10,000 rental guarantee (for $39)
that protects you against Internet fraud.
Check the legality of the rental and your protections by searching
the Internet for the town where you’re renting and terms such as
“tenant rights” and “short-term rentals.”
Use Zillow, Google Earth or Street View to check the property
resembles the pictures on the listing site and isn’t for sale.
Get the rental agreement in writing—and read the terms. Don’t
understand it? Have the landlord write an explanation
17. Cons from Nolo.com
http://bit.ly/1fZbX4w
Ads and descriptions may be misleading
Reservations on short-term rentals may take time
Some hosts are not so wonderful
Your short-term stay may not be legal
Your rental place may not be secure
Your options may be limited if something goes wrong
Reviews can be misleading
Hotel service or amenities are often missing
18. Pros & advice from Nolo.com
You can save money – sometimes a lot of money.
Some hosts are wonderful.
Some accommodations are fantastic. Way better than hotels
Whether you're staying in a large hotel or a room you found on
Airbnb, HomeAway, or a similar short-term rental service, do your
homework before booking. Check out as much information as you
can about the host, the accommodations, neighborhood,
amenities, all fees, and cancellation policies.
19. Check ‘amenities’ & ‘rules’
Be sure the property has what you are looking for.
Most places have wireless internet these days. And
cable TV. And A/C (south florida) or heating (northern
climes). But not all do.
Check the ‘house rules’ are reasonable, if you smoke
for example some places don’t allow you to smoke in
or even around the house.

Each tells a different ‘story’ about Airbnb and/or the
‘industry’ from the financial to the historical to personal
