I'd be interested to know. I know these guys are smart, so I just hope it's not one of these cases where a couple of people think that some products are not well done but that they know how to do it right and clean, to realize later that the reason other sites are like this (plastered with ads for example) is because, in the long-term, there is no other way. For example, AirBnB came out to solve a problem with short-term rentals, with real people and real reviews from other real people. In my experience, the reality is that most of the offers are actually the same professionals you find in regular rental sites, with sometimes the same unclear and deceptive rates, and without many reviews from real people. (YMMV) When I realized that, I felt that they started out with an idealistic goal that couldn't be really fulfilled. Hoping the same thing wouldn't happen with HipMunk.
