Unforgettable trips start with Airbnb. Find adventures nearby or in faraway places and access unique homes, experiences, and places around the world.
Airbnb is a staple for myself and my family. We travel often around our country and find that the ease of use, the convenience as well as the hosted spaces make it a joy to use. I also find that the prices are competitive with many of the hotels close to any listing and so it makes using Airbnb and obvious choice.
Hands down, Airbnb has made my travels so much more memorable! From cozy cabins to stylish city apartments, every stay feels like an adventure. Plus, the local experiences they offer are the perfect way to dive into the culture!
Airbnb is super convenient with tons of options for any budget. That said, some listings don’t always match the photos, so read reviews carefully. Overall, a good experience most of the time!

Huge launch and expansion — Airbnb is once again expanding beyond home stays and upleveling Experiences and Services.
Also appears that "Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode", per WIRED.
What do you think about this new direction? Have you booked any experiences on Airbnb yet?

I'm very curious to see how this plays out. Airbnb has earned trust from millions of customers and established a strong design-centric brand to compete in an otherwise noisy market. I can see people defaulting to Airbnb over old incumbents like Yelp for services and Tripadvisor for experiences.

@rrhoover also really interesting that they're emphasizing account verification w/ background checks to increase trust:
The US may never get a social credit score like China, but instead reputation will be privatized... 👀
I had some really bad experiences with Airbnb over the years, then a friend told me about VRBO. I used it to find an amazing home in NC right smack dab on the beach on outer banks and had the best week long vacation I've ever had. I'll never go back!

@thehatchfiles is that a problem with Airbnb or the host? Did you complain to Airbnb?
