You know I was thinking "why aren't there free services like this?", now I see this, and I'm REALLY wondering "why the hell did AirBnB catch on and this didn't?!".
I had to rent a place for a month via AirBnB, for myself and my partner. My AirBnB fees came out to like $200, and when I told the owner they were like "wow, I didn't know that! I would have rather just paid via cash and save you guys from paying the extra!".
Seriously fuck AirBnB. We need to push these free alternatives. We need services that truly just connect people, instead of ripping them off.
I understand a system like AirBnB has to pay for maintenance and developers, but holy shit the fees are insane because there are investors too.
