Been seeing a lot of airbnb.com ads while I'm surfing around the web.
Wondered what it was. Air + Bed & Breakfast???
Air = Space??
"Airbnb is a website for people to rent out lodging."
Next thing I knew, I saw some Instagram pics of
someone I was following that made me even more curious.
http://instagram.com/greenlaundry
She had taken photos of her accommodation in Hong Kong.
She apparently rented the place via airbnb.com
The pics looked like they were taken from apartmenttherapy.com
Too pretty for words.
But it's real. Kinda cosy and chic.
Did some brief search on the net and found this timeline of airbnb.com:
Most notable was Aston Kutcher's investment in 2011.
Maybe this can be a good alternative to hotel booking for upcoming holidays??
Anyway, for fun, I decided to do a airbnb search on Singapore.
Would the price be comparable to the hotel rates?
Which are around S$200 and above.
Drum roll.....
As you can see, it can cost from as little as S$68 bucks for a private room rental.
Cool!Am going to search for those at Sentosa Cove!!
Might be good for a good birthday treat surprise for the SO.
Wonder if it's only for tourists, can it be for local rental as well?
Caution de loyer I would like to say that this blog really convinced me to do it! Thanks, very good post.
