Airbnb “Single Bedroom” Rentals?

I haven’t but know people who have done this while traveling. It doesn’t seem like a big deal if the person has good reviews.

I’ve done it several times. No big deal if they have good reviews.

Added info- I am a male and the host is good looking female

Sounds like a no-brainer to me

I've done it before when I was younger and single. If the reviews are there it's going to be fine, especially if you're in and out in ~12 hours. I do carry a weapon and if I didn't I'd be a bit more worried.

Yes, several times. Usually the homeowner lives on an upper level, and rents out the basement, or a suite on the opposite side of the house from their bedroom. Have never shared a bathroom, however.

Have never encountered any problems with any of my hosts. Airbnb makes it easy to report issues, and ime follows up pretty thoroughly. I prefer using the platform to booking a hotel. I’m usually traveling with “toys” (bike, kayak), and like not having to stress about anyone messing with my stuff. Also, enjoy knowing that I’m assisting a fellow American to meet their financial obligations. I use the filters, and vet my hosts pretty thoroughly, to screen out the bad actors as best as I can.

Sounds like a trap.

I have done this plenty, while traveling solo or with a travel companion. Every experience has been first rate. It’s somewhat shocking how many single ladies host strangers in their homes, and everyone has seemed very comfortable, and I’ve met some friends I’ve stayed in touch with after my stay. My former company didn’t allow use of AirBnB or VRBO for business travel, so I did a LOT of hotel stays, always enjoyed the AirBnB stays for my leisure travel more.

One of my most normal friends does this stuff. He is an attorney and can afford nice lodging. I was shocked when he told me he travels like this, but he enjoys it and enjoys meeting the people. I still think it’s weird AF and he will end up getting Jeffrey Dahmered by some nut.

To my knowledge he has never had relations with any of the hosts.

I would do it if I was single and traveling.

But on the flip side, no way in hell am I letting some random rent out a room in my home. No fricking way

This is how Airbnb started, it stands for Air Bed and breakfast. But I think its absolutely crazy to stay with someone without each party having private locked entrances and space. Its one thing to share like a patio or something.
