Mike here from Melbourne, Australia. We are an Airbnb Management Agency and operate many properties for investors that wish to be an Airbnb host, but don’t want to spend the time doing it themselves. I really like how you mention that this is a home experience. Many guests when searching for a place to stay are looking for this as an alternative to traditional Hotels. It’s also a great idea to reach out to your host when you find somewhere to stay to ask any questions. You will find most hosts friendly and have plenty of knowledge about their area that they can help you with during your stay. Such as, where is the best pizza place, what’s the easiest way to visit somewhere or even a place you should visit that you didn’t consider or know about.

Having spent 19 days Airbnb in Ireland all very different set ups I need to write about them soon. Nearly home to Australia! On return I have decided to list on site my luxury coastal retreat as feel Airbnb is definitely ok. I will keep other sites as well as they have been great for 6 years. Thanks for your encouragement of the system.

Hi Sergio, that’s the great thing about Airbnb. You can interact with your potential host and see if it’s a good match and also handle the price, when travelling alone, you may get a better price. I have sent my invitation to join Airbnb if you haven’t used it yet, you get 25USD off your first booking! Best of luck with your Airbnb Stay and thanks for stopping by!

Another thing I hadn’t thought about was getting in touch with the host to see if I could get a better deal or even double check we’re a good fit. I have an Airbnb account but I haven’t used it yet, I was looking for a place to crash in San Diego for an Internet Marketing conference that is happening there soon and even though I did find a few near by places, the majority were not that affordable. Pricing was really near to hotels in the area so I’m still looking around. Anyway, thanks for the great tips, I’ll have these in consideration whenever I decide to have my first Airbnb experience!

Yes, Airbnb is all about staying with locals! However there are also house rental agents in the Airbnb listings, that’s wyh you need to make your research first to identify the suitable hosts, who are locals!

But as you said, the coolest thing why we stay via airbnb is to meet new people! This was the main reason why I rent my apartment in Yangon on airbnb!

Hi Sally, yes Airbnb is a great way of staying on a budget and while meeting locals. I think everyone who loves to travel alone should consider it in their solo adventures!

I have stayed in Airbnb a few times now and I love it! It is great for cities where hostels can be the same cost if not more!

Absolutely agree! Good Reviews are essential for any Airbnb stay. Even the most stunning photos wouldn’t me want to book a place, that has too many bad reviews!
