What is it?
This is a "hotel replacement" travel app. Essentially it gives you a host of apartments for rent in almost any country you travel to. You can set your budget and preferred area, read other tourist reviews and decide whether you want to share or have the entire place to yourself. It also lists out amenities to be found in the apt (like laundry facilities, air conditioner, and many more).
Why download now:
Airbnb serves as an excellent alternative to expensive hotel rooms and can significantly cut down your travel budget. You can save that money or put it to use in other parts of your trip. Also in this case, budget doesn't mean shabby. You get a range of apartments from clean and basic to ultra luxury (though that will drive up costs). However be sure to read a few user reviews and check the overall rating of the host on the app. The hosts are generally very friendly and helpful locals who can give you a lot of "inside info" on your arrival as well. Overall just an excellent alternative that takes care of your stay, whether on holiday or on business. The only thing missing is room service. If that's an important criteria then give this app a skip. (Though some places do have maids available on request as well). —[email protected]
