When looking for a place to stay during your travels, you look for three things: clean, affordable, and accessible to your chosen vacation spots–near the airport, near shopping districts, near train stations. One of the easiest, and relatively newest ways for searching for the best place to stay is Airbnb–the Google of vacation spaces.
