Interesting Ideas

Every Sunday I read Frommer’s article in the paper with various travel news.  This week was really intriguing to me!  There is a new website called iStopover where you can go and find local rentals all over the world.  Apparently there is another very well established place to find these as well called AirBnb.  I knew there were places like this but I have always been a bit leery.  To have Frommer’s recommend these as good options piqued my interest.  So, today I joined both sites and have done a little browsing for places in Barcelona, now I am really intrigued!  I sent in a couple inquiries and have already heard back.  There is anything from a single stark bed, sharing a bathroom to a luxury apartment or home for rent.  Most have laundry and kitchen facility.  As you might expect the owners seem very friendly, helpful, and intriguing themselves!  Can’t wait to try this out!
