Renters and adventurers will love this addition to the App Store. Airbnb connects you with exotic and non-exotic places to rent. The service has more than 50,000 listings. It allows you to book rentals in just a few taps. Rent in more than 8,000 cities and 166 countries.
The app also lets you message your guests or the owner of the rental. If you get lost the app features in app navigation. The app is great for emergencies! Simply tap the “Find a place, tonight!” button and you can find nearby and available rentals.
The app also helps you earn extra cash. Airbnb will guide you through how much your home or apartment is worth as a rental. You can then offer to rent your place out. You will also be inspired by viewing some of the more exotic places available for rent.
The service does provide some great low cost options for traveling. We found some rooms in San Francisco for as low as $40 a night during the week of Macworld 2011. The app is available for free in the App Store. You can get more information about the service at www.airbnb.com.
