How to get credit and Airbnb discount coupons

If you plan to travel, there are many ways to stay at your destination: hotel, camping, hostel or renting a home with platforms like Airbnb.

In the event that you have opted for the latter, you should know that there are many ways to be able to obtain discounts on Airbnb without the need to do anything special. Thanks to them you can save up to hundreds of euros on your accommodation when enjoying your vacation.

What is Airbnb?

Founded in 2008, Airbnb has become an essential platform for those who want to rent a house, apartment or room for a few days to spend their vacation in total comfort.

This platform allows users to rent their homes to individuals and professionals. In this way, you can access all the facilities of the home. It is a very interesting option, especially because the price is more affordable than that of a hotel room, depending on the number of people traveling.

One of the great advantages of using Airbnb, in addition to obtaining a more affordable price than a hotel, is that the supply of homes that can be rented is infinitely greater than the number of hotels available in the main cities.

Of course, so that, in many cases, renting a home on the platform is profitable, it is preferable to rent it among several people. Airbnb is not the best platform for those who travel alone, and the price is not per person but for the place itself, so you will not pay more regardless of whether more people go. Of course, be careful how many people you want to take on the trip, all rentals have a maximum number of guests, you will not be able to accommodate more than what your host indicates, although you can always talk to him to reach an agreement.

Experiences, adventures and restaurants

A few years ago the platform stopped being only about finding accommodation in a tourist destination. Now, in addition to what was previously said, they have a much broader offer, being able to find experiences, adventures and restaurants.

Everything that can be found on the platform has ratings from users, as well as you can see the price and a detailed description of the experience or adventure that you can carry out.

All adventures are done by local people. Although sometimes you can see individuals who offer themselves to carry out activities through the platform, the vast majority are companies and professionals who carry out these activities as an extra job, and who promote them to visitors to the city through the platform.

There are all types of experiences available, simply access the one that catches your attention the most. Within each experience you will be able to see the price per person, what is included (equipment, transportation, accommodation) and the dates available to carry out the activity, the latter only when you make a reservation.
