- guard-of-terra 12y ago'It’s more like traditional drug dealing with online support than a real full-fledged anonymous marketplace" That's also how we had airbnb without airbnb before airbnb. You just typed 'flats daily <city>' in the search engine, landed on some website with description of flats and a list of phones, agreed on terms and made the payment with cash when you arrived.
