Although celebrity rentals are typically priced at a premium, many Airbnb rentals are more affordable than a hotel room. In addition to being less expensive, some offer more space and access to a kitchen so you don’t have to spend on three meals a day.
At face value, Airbnb already seems like a great deal, but experienced traveler and writer Jenna Robbins has a trick for saving even more on your next vacation rental:
"Contact several hosts and ask for the best available rate. I’ve often received up to 25 percent off when I contact three-to-five hosts within a week of traveling, because many are anxious to book a guest at that time."
If you plan to stay in one area for an extended time, make sure your host knows! There might be an additional discount for long term guests.
“We can usually get up to 50 percent off for booking 30 days or more. It is worth the work asking the host if they can provide discounts on long-term stays,” shares Jayne Braye, digital nomad and travel blogger at Slow Travel Co.
