Have you heard about airbnb? I hadn’t until just recently. I booked a stay in New York City for later this month on the site and based on reviews am very excited about the money I saved renting an entire loft in Manhattan, just minutes from Times Square for a fraction of the price of halfway decent hotels within blocks. In just over 3 years, airbnb has exploded from a simple startup to over 5 million nights booked. Yes five MILLION! You can rent a room, you can rent a villa, you can rent anything in between with airbnb acting as intermediary between you and your hosts. Check out this infographic from airbnb. Anyone care to share their airbnb stories?
