What a great idea! I spot checked several cities and found a range of prices, from bargains to probably over-priced.
If those attending (or protesting) at the Democrat convention in Denver next week knew about Airbedandbreakfast.com, they might find some good alternatives to the hotels, many of which are fully booked, even at sharply increased rates.
For example, within walking distance of the Denver convention center, one man is renting his entire small house for $40 a night. He readily admits the home is as clean and orderly as a fraternity house, but then he lists the benefits:
"Single bed in basement. Room for a couple or more down there on the floor. Two other beds in house. Camp in the yard if you like. Older house, close to convention, bars and restaurants 1 1/2 blocks away, including independent coffee shop with wi-fi. One block from Colfax, major bus line downtown. 12 blocks to grocery store. Counterculture central, protesters welcome. A group would be nice. Use kitchen, bathroom, smoke freely and without condemnation in beautiful yard or on front porch. Beagle will not be here for the convention."
My favorite selling point is "protesters welcome". That ought to make the neighbors happy.
Even if you have no trips planned and would not be interested in such private lodging, the site Airbedandbreakfast.com is worth visiting just to see a good idea put into action.
