i used it once and stayed in this warehouse studio apartment in bushwick. it was quite nice, was like our own lil apartment for a day. it all depends where u are staying at and their terms i guess, i've heard horror stories, but this lady didnt give a fuck if we cooked a 12 course meal in her kitchen as long as we didnt literally break anything lol

do you just hand them cash upfront or what
what if police get involved and figure out your airbnb is illegal

yeah once in canada it was okay but kind of awkward w/ the owner around since we go there late and left early the next day (cheaper than a hotel in BC)  so we never really talked at all


my parents use it a lot lol

silvertone and i stayed in an airbnb when we first came to portland. i think it's a better deal than getting a hotel room but also the prices have gone up since then. My sister and I looked for a place in Seattle when she came up and it ended up being kind of pricey. idr the exact cost tho

we also got it before they started taxing the website and people have now gone crazy with it. [buying/renting places just to airbnb them]

uhhh i think airbnb handles the transaction, and you have to put CC info in upfront? dont really know, my GF arranged it i just showed up. we had to leave 25 bucks for the cleaning ladies when we left tho, not sure if that was disclosed or not but i guess it was cuz my GF didnt seem put off by it and they place was cool enuff that i didnt really give a shit

tho u can get cheap ones if you dont mind basically staying in someone's guest room

ive always wanted to try couchsurfing it seems rad but also im a little anxious to do it

i had an old roommate who was into it and we had a few people stay at our house

one time we had two german girls stay w/ us and another time one french girl (we had a female roommate who was opposed to us having male couchsurfers for whatever stupid reason). the german girls were cool and i have good drunken memories having a bonfire w/ them and other friends. the french girl was nice but she kind of imposed on us a couple days more than we originally agreed to and it was kind of a relief when she left.

one night it was just me and her awake after everyone else left and we were talking about how sex should be fine and how there should be no stigma for people to just have sex since everyone wants to and then there was a long awkward silence and i abruptly went to bed lol

never tried it from a not hosting perspective but people who have talk very highly of it. the kind of people who are willing to house random people end up being nice people i guess. id like to do it but i havent had much of a reason to especially in thailand where hotels and hostels are like 10 dollars a night lol

id never get an uber for myself but i love it when someone else does, its really magical

i wouldn't do it myself because i don't have any more memory for an uber app lol
also i can't find any airbnb rooms for 8 days so ill have to eat take out from now on and its starting to get a bit pricey
supposedly this is how most people here live like
i like to cook because im anal on texture and also its 14.99$/1 lb for some restaurants fried brussel sprouts

re:uber/left
I look at the driver's rating but I hate how the app autoselects the driver lol
but I've had no problems except one guy didn't turn at the right house but luckily that was a free ride
I like it better than a cab tbh because the cab fare is too much except when uber does that surge pricing nonsense

do uber pool now since i still don't think it's caught on and it's cheaper. you might just get a cheaper ride and still not have to share.

but you do run that risk
