I'm considering booking our three-person travel party into an Airbnb house (family occupied during your stay) in nearby Fairmont, WV because that's the hometown of Nick Saban and I figure we could have a lot of fun with Fonzie jokes. But I'd be happier if people in Morgantown had gotten wind of it already.

AirBNB is useless for the Florida Central Atlantic. It just gave me a bunch of listings for Orlando.

GBC, Italy is the main reason I'm asking, so your endorsement is great to hear.

Not sure where you're going in Italy, but last May we used this website and got the most magnificent 2 bed, 2 bath apartment in an old palazzo in Firenze.

Right now we think we're going to stay in the south- Ponza, Amalfi, Puglia and Rome- but thank you very much, as we'll probably start planning our next trip the minute we have our first espresso :)   Your apt sounds pretty amazing.

Our itinerary has already changed multiple times, even though we're still 8 months out, and will probably change again.

So our itinerary did change, and we are now spending a week in Florence. Got this place at $70/night on AirBnB. Just across the Arno from the historic city center, right next to Boboli Gardens. We're optimistic. The owner has been super cool to deal w/.

We just got back from a week in Paris.  Found a great apartment through VRBO.  Affordable and hassle free.

We're staying in a flat in Barcelona for two weeks in early April via AirBNB. I will also update, but if this place is half as nice as it looks, I will be satisfied.

We stayed in apartments in Girona and Budapest through AirBNB. I love them!  We were actually surprised because we didn't realize that we were actually housesharing in Girona, but it worked out beautifully. The ladies were fantastic and gave us so many great tips that we never would have discovered on our own and I got to speak Spanish the whole time. It was awesome!!

Yay!  All of our VRBO experiences have been really positive.
