Airbnb app review

Airbnb

Price: Free

Airbnb by Airbnb, Inc. lets you search accommodation possibilities from around the world.

The purpose of this app is to connect you with people around the world who have space for rent. Airbnb is a trusted community so you know the information you're finding here is legitimate.

Anyone is able to list their space for rent here so that others can search and discover the offerings. You'll find a variety of styles when it comes to accommodations everything from a private island, to city flats.

When you find a space that interests you, use the app to go ahead and book it immediately. If you need a spot and it's last minute, not to worry as there is a "Find a place, tonight!" feature that can help you out. Another cool feature is the ability to check out directions to your accommodations and view your itinerary. You can even message your host right from your mobile device if you like.

Now if you're on the other end of things and you're looking to rent your space, use the app to find out what your place should rent for.

There are accommodations in 192 countries for a total of more than 200,000 listings.

Airbnb was updated on Jan. 25, 2013 and currently has 125 customer ratings with an average rating of four and a half out of five stars.

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you want to stay at a hotel or resort. I liked that this app was a trusted source of alternate accommodation options so I could rent instead and really find a place that fit my specific wants and needs.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
