I knew many people might not feel comfortable to stay at hotel all the time while they are out of town. There is an online service called AirBnB, which you can browse all the location around the world, and find a house for rent, the rental price is posted by the owner on daily basis. I found a lot of good house with cozy and nice amenities with great price on all around the world. So, if you find this your alternative option to a hotel staying, that is a good starting point. Maybe some people has extra house, and they don't want it to be empty, rather to make it help them generate some cash by rent it out. That is a good business too, go check it out if you are also interest it.

I amd and have been a Airbnb host for couple years and hvae really liked it. So far I have had very friendly and neat guests and all visits has gone smoothly. I currently host a couple from Russia. I have had lots of Russian visitors probably because I live in Finland just about 50km from Russia's border. I think this is a good alternative for hotels and hostels and you can feel home away from home while travelling.

Good information to know this one. Sometimes, all we need to have is a place to stay and a hotel is not the most suitable at all times. Also, since there are a lot of activities happening during travels, sometimes, a book in a hotel isn't optimized with the price. So good to know that there is something like this. Hope to check this one out in the future and hopefully I get to travel more.

Hi Kingparker! That's what my friends and I love to do every time we travel. Although we don't use that site, we have few sites here in the Philippines which list down all the hotels, guesthouses, transient houses, pension houses, and etc in a place. So what we do is we search our destination, locate all the available places we can stay in that place and then we decide on which place we can save more. Normally, transient houses are the cheapest and the good thing about renting one is that you can cook your meals and you have the entire place to yourselves. A lot of people are offering their vacation houses for this kind of service. So if you are really in extreme budget for the trip, then transient houses would the best choice. However, if you have all the money to splurge then you can have the grandest vacation you want too! :)
