We snip the links from the posts of new members to discourage spammers from gathering and using them. I saw a post by somebody in the Other Travel Sites Forum about a site for renting a room in somebodies house for a night. You could look through the posts there and find it if you want. I will post it here if I come accross it.

The were looking for a place to stay when this woman from a balcony started to negotiate price with them to stay in her home. It was a cheep price that included breakfast and they took it.

Something like that happened to us, last time we were in Krakow, Poland around 9 years ago. It used to be a regular thing in the former Yugoslavia. That was how we got a lot of our accomodation there in those days. I dont know how much it happens these days.

I already experience it when I was in Tokyo where I rent for a house that somebody lives in where you renting one of their room. | Number of Users: 6 | Number of Posts: 10 | |||||||||||||||||||
