Yeah when i'm travelling the last thing I want is surprises with the place i'm staying, but people are so price sensitive they will put up with a lot.
One common thing I see in this thread is people act like theres only two choices: Hotels or Airbnb. I've never had a booking on HomeAway that wasn't on par or exceeding expectations.
- afjl 7y agoThis is actually the first time I've heard of HomeAway, thanks. The only short term rental company I've ever used or heard of was Airbnb. I'll probably be shopping around the next time I travel.
- taormina 7y agoFYI, their consumer name is VRBO. The HomeAway office is here in Austin, but the actual app you use is called VRBO (and I think all the offices are getting new signs soon?).
- biztos 7y agoOriginally "Vacation Rental By Owner" -- which I thought was the name of the web site years ago.
- 01010001 7y agoHow ironic to be reading this on HN of all places, it’s almost impossible to say this without sounding patronising but the thought of inserting ‘house for rental in destination’ or ‘destination holiday rental’ on any search engine never crossed your mind?
- afjl 7y agoNot really. I just graduated and got a job, and I've never traveled out of my state before. Just got my first passport recently. ninja edit: graduated from* college
