AirBnB Moves Into Apartment Rentals
AirBed&Breakfast.com has rebranded itself as AirBnB. Why? Because, despite only launching last August, they’ve already outgrown their original concept.
Users aren’t simply offering other travellers an airbed. Many of them are pulling out all the stops. Take a look on their homepage and you’ll now see a gallery of bedrooms that wouldn’t look out of place on a boutique hotel site. Ok, they’ve been specially selected by the powers that be, but there’s definitely not an inflatable mattress in sight.
In another departure, the site has also found that members have been actively posting listings for holiday homes and slightly longer-term stays. There’s certainly a gap in the market for this.
