Have you heard of airbnb?
it’s a site where you can list out your home, apartment, room, yacht …
we’ve used it twice!
once in croatia and once in panama for Haley and Damaso’s wedding.
i told my in-law’s i’d hook us up with a sweet rental deal this last thanksgiving, and we booked a beautiful apartment in a great part of town overlooking the pacific ocean. It was WAY cheaper than booking a hotel, plus you get all the amenities of being at a home. Sometimes I love hotel stays, and sometimes I’m kind of over them. The latter is mostly true when I’m there for longer than a few days. {unless we’re talking the four seasons. then i’ll just move in}
Well, a couple days before we were to take off to Panama I get an email in very broken english.
It said to bypass the bellman, enter in code, do not look at the front desk people, go right into the building, go left to the elevators, go to floor 23, go left, there will be a door, open it. inside you will find a shoe box. in the left shoe you will find the key.
i am not kidding.
we still die laughing about it.
but there was the key! and the apartment was beautiful.
on sunday we slipped the key back into the shoebox and went back to america.
that’s the stuff of travel memories my friends.
so yes, i do indeed recommend airbnb.
{the view on a rather cloudy day!}
{oh and this is how huge i was on that trip! 8 months preg!}
have you used airbnb? something similar?
would you do it?
