Airbnb is awesome - it allows you to find unique accommodation around the world, for prices up to 70% lower than hotels. What’s more, because you’re living in real homes, you get to truly live like a local. Whether you want an entire property or just a room in someone’s place, Airbnb will change the way you travel forever. But in order to truly get the most out of Airbnb, you need to be aware of some tricks and techniques. Did you know, for example, that there’s a way of getting new properties sent straight to your inbox, which can often be 20% cheaper than comparable listings? And that you could accidentally be missing out on brilliant properties because of quirks of how they’ve been listed? Airbnb Pro will show you how to use Airbnb like an expert, even if you’ve never used the site before. It walks you through every step of the process, revealing tips along the way that will help you bag the best places at the best rates. You'll learn: - Why most people are searching the wrong way, and how knowing better ways can help you unearth some undiscovered gems - How you might be annoying potential hosts without even knowing it (this one tip alone can more than halve the amount of time it takes you to book accommodation) - How to have the best bargains drop into your inbox without even having to check the site - What to do to make sure your stay is as convenient as staying in a hotel…but without the price tag PRAISE FOR AIRBNB PRO: ”I’ve been using Airbnb a lot lately, and being no dummy, I didn’t expect this book to actually tell me lots of things I didn’t already know. Boy, was I wrong.” - MakeUseOf.com ABOUT THE AUTHORS: We wrote Airbnb Pro during a year-long trip of North America, Europe and Asia, during which we’re only staying in Airbnb apartments! Our current lifestyle would not be possible if Airbnb didn’t exist, and even though we have no links to the company, we’ve become an unpaid extension to their marketing department as we rave to everyone we meet about how great it is. But while introducing Airbnb to our friends and family, we’ve found a lot of people who are put off because they think it’s risky or complicated, or who’ve jumped in but struggled to make a booking. Airbnb Pro is the distilled advice we’ve given those people - and all the pro tips we’ve worked out from months of searching for our next home.
