Accomodations: Everywhere - AirBnB



When I came across this site, I thought many of my "where the hell do we stay" questions have been asked. Obvious there are other more official options if you want a hotel or hostel, but if you want something more intimate I suggest airbnb. 

First off, you're helping out individuals when you rent a space from them. That's a nice thought, right? On top of that this is where real life people live everyday. In theory, these homes will feel nice and homey. And as a bonus, if you have a chance of getting a host who can recommend places to visit and eat. 

Caleb and I are planning on doing a combination of all types of places to stay. There will be hostel stops to keep our budget low, and perhaps a hotel or bed & breakfast for a breather. With Airbnb it makes it so much easier for us to plan some of those bed & breakfast alternatives. 

Airbnb allows you to create wishlists as well. My Europe & Local Listings are pretty stockpiled with places that look way to fun to pass up. But that's not all, there are multiple options for unique stays under "Airbnb picks." Some of these include, trains, treehouses, repurposed homes, and even private islands! 

Let it become your new addiction as it did mine. As there are many special, luxury options, there are also beautiful and rather functional options for us who want to save a few bucks.
