{air bnb... room for rent!}

Move over Craigslist, there's a new kid on the block! Looking to rent a room in a unique B&B or an unusual alternative to the standard hotel? Airbnb just may be your answer. This new website offers a secure place to rent simply a room in a London flat or an entire beach villa off the east coast of Borneo.

Hosts post their own listings and you can contact them directly for reservations. What to do when you live in a shoe? Why not move to a boot?! Like the one above in the beautiful artisan town of Nelson, New Zealand. Hidden in a grove of hazelnut trees, the hosts welcome couples here for a romantic getaway.
