How-to: Airbnb

I might have to say that Airbnb is the best tool in traveling today. The company, founded in 2008 in San Francisco, is a community for people who list and book unique accommodations around the world. I used Airbnb to book my accommodations last summer in France and Italy and even within the states for two family vacations.  Each experience has been an incredible way to connect with people from around the world to create a unique travel experience. In my case, I was able to stay with locals from the cities I was visiting, as opposed to scouring around for a dirty hostel. To name a few, I lived a week in Paris in a four-bedroom loft, two days in Florence in a villa, and a week with my mother in the Outer Banks in a beach box. I am going to walk you through how easy it is to use Airbnb with my tips and tricks. I have used screen shots from my search for my Berlin accommodations to help you better understand.
