This is a very interesting new business and web site. I heard about it recently and immediately added my Maine rental cabin to their site. It is a new option for those who own rental properties. It is of particular interest to me because this summer rental season has not been the best for traditional second home owners who expect commitments from prospective renters in terms of weeks, not days. This summer has brought with it a dearth of those traditional renters, and more and more I am getting inquiries for 3 or 4 day weekend types of rentals.
It also opens up a whole new market. Listers can offer traditional B&B type listings for a room or two in their own homes, whereas heretofore they never considered that, or there was no way to advertise such offerings at no or low cost.
Airbnb offers no cost listing services on their web site, so I was immediately interested.
Even if you have never thought of renting out a room in your home for a night or your second home for a few days, take a look at this possibility. We all can use a few extra dollars these days!
