I like that site and have used it to get an apartment but some of the listings are pretty over-priced. Look at the Ethiopia place. It's just a hotel, you could get something much nicer for $50 a night in Ethiopia.
That site is only good if you really comb through all the listings and find the truly good deal, or if you are looking for a place in a city with high supply on the site, like NYC, where a renter has more leverage.
And then there's also the problem of making a reservation. It is not like Expedia where you just reserve something and get instant confirmation. It can take a few days to email back and forth and finalize a place, so I don't like using AirBNB unless I'm staying in a city for more than say a week.
Still, a really good site.

I enquired about a few places in BKK and no one even replied to my messages. I lost faith in the site.

That place in San Christobal looks decent and it gets me wondering....
I remember you posted about a 3 bedroom apartment for 4 bills a month in Santo Domingo. Wonder if a guy could get enough traffic off airbnb to make some money off something like that....
And of course you would have a nice crib to stay in whenever you want to head down yourself.
At the least airbnb would offset some of the costs...

Lol
If you think about it all's you need is a place to keep your stuff. If you can't pull? Sleep in the Hammock you fuckin' loser.
Will she let you wash your balls and take a shit though, or is that an optional extra?

Check out some of the Villas in Buzios, near Rio! Pretty slick :-)
Ive used to all over the place and find it a great site. Not for low end but for high end slick city center apartments.

I hung out in that city. It's fucking crazy. All you would have to do is sit outside with a cooler with beer and you would have nonstop female traffic.
Anyone else here been there?
Seriously!??? lol!
The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.
