In reply to Suzanne (PhilaTravelGirl). Suzanne, this flat spoiled me! The espresso machine alone is worth the stay here.

That Boston flat looks fabulous – what a great first stay! I tried Airbnb for the first time in Europe this summer six times – found two gems in London and Venice. had awful experience with one dirty house not maintained house where I fell on loose/uneven steps and fractured foot which affected holiday. Important to do research.

Thank you for for sharing your first Airbnb experience. I think that Airbnb is such an enriching way to travel. Being an Airbnb host has truly been rewarding. The hosted home is the ultimate Airbnb experience. All the best, Sue

In reply to Zaroyana. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with HouseTripping, I didn't even know Paris had mosquitoes!

In reply to Allison. I completely agree with you on reading the reviews and communicating with your host- it gives you a much better idea of what to expect.

I used AirBnB for some of my stays in Italy. Because I was travelling for over a month, I specifically chose apartments that has a washing machine. This allowed me to do laundry and hang it to dry (most people in Italy do not have a dryer)

I also used HouseTripping in Paris, but that was a DISASTER! I still have scares from the mosquito bites (27 in total), and there was no hot water. And the website pretty much said “Too bad, you’ve already checked in and there is not anythign we can do because we have already received your money and paid the host…here’s a coupon for 10% off your next booking of seven days or more.” NEVER AGAIN.

I am going to Cuba next week. Too bad there are no AirBnB locations available there…..

Great article! We used Air BnB to book a townhouse in Philadelphia for a family wedding this spring! It looks like a great place and we are really excited to visit that city.
Other guests are not as thrilled… They booked last fall with another company and found out in early January that the property had been sold and the new owners weren’t renting. They are now scrambling to find accommodation for eight on a weekend that will be very busy ( graduation weekend at the University) the wedding is downtown so they might be paying premium prices as well.
A really good idea is to pay attention to the reviews, the place we have is very highly rated for its type in the Philadelphia area.
So we feel quite comfortable with our choice… Communication with the host is key.

In reply to Joseph @ Green Global Travel. I loved my first Airbnb experience and will certainly be using them again in the future.
