Anyone used airbnb to rent a room to stay in or even used it to rent out a spare room? We have a large house and had thought about renting out a room to an overseas student, but this might be just as good a way to earn a few extra dollars to help to offset the cost of the mortgage!
Read about this the other day, and it sounded interesting. Potentially a cheap alternative to a hotel room, or for short term accommodation if you need to find a long term rental but don't want to be forced to jump at the first place you find.
