Airbnb is to a hotel as lyft and uber are to taxi service. You arrange to stay in a spare room/space in someone's house using the website as your conduit. There are tons of places in many cities, and often it's a very inexpensive option for lodging, a lot like staying in a b and b, but it's more casual and less professional.
So -- I'm going to give it a go. How bad can it be, yes? I'll be spending two nights all by myself in the rustic backyard cabin of a retired school teacher who loves to garden, read, and cook. This is my attempt at a vacation that's restful to me (as opposed to a family vacation which is the exact opposite of relaxing).
I'll let you know how it goes. But until then -- anyone with experience to report?
I must say, poking around on the site I found a place that says it's 2 blocks from Buckingham Palace, and for $100 a night you can have a maid's room and semi-private loo, breakfast, and access to the host's library. Sounds like fun, yes?
