Oh man, I do not know where we will be going on our next trip, but I do know that we will definitely be at an Airbnb. These places are incredible. Airbnb is like a vacation rental site where you go to rent people's homes, but waay nicer. This has super chic places that look nice instead of mildly creepy but less expensive than a hotel. One of the best things I love about this is that home owners pick who stays at their place. It's a bit like you are auditioning to be a tourist, which is super nice considering that everyone else staying there had to go through the same test.
To sign up, just go to Airbnb and start up an account. I have heard that it is best to put as much information on your profile as possible since this is what home owners look at. Yes, homeowners can turn you down. Next, shop the site. Type in where you want to go, how many people, and if you know the dates, add that in too.
