TOP CITIES: London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Brighton, Paris and New York.
It’s over 70% cheaper than hotel chains meaning you can travel more, and a local expert will help you get the most out of your trip.

TOP TIPS
Do…
• Try to give hosts an idea of you as a person; the more information you give the better you will be able to be matched to a perfect host. A profile picture, profession and age are a good start.
• Contact hosts before making a booking; send a message, say hi and let them know why you're travelling. You're sure to get a better response.
• Make sure you book online. By transacting through Crashpadder you will ensure that your money's safe and they will have a record of your stay.
• Respect your guest's pad. This is a home and not a hotel or B&B so be respectful: tidy up after yourself, check before inviting others round and always make sure your plans fit with the host's.
• Start hosting too - if you have the space it's a great way to boost your income and meet like-minded people.
Don't…
• Use it to hook up. These friendly local hosts are letting you into their home, not into their bed!
