If this is the experience you’re looking for, try Couchsurfing instead of Airbnb! Hosted over 200 people in Chicago and it was amazing!

used to couchsurf when i was younger, always grateful to the people who have opened up their houses to host!

We had an absolute blast. Met so many interesting people from so many different places and now I have friends all over the world. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Yep, haven't done it myself but have heard lots of good about it. What is sad to me about airbnb is that the original idea was the same, it was essentially couchsurfing with a fee. Not it has turned into private hotels. https://youtu.be/16cM-RFid9U

Yep. I remember when Airbnb was expected to be an interactive experience and now 9/10 times the owner isn’t even in the same state lol
