I am considering a longer trip later this spring. Still not sure where but if I'm going to go somewhere fun to ride I may as well stay at least a couple weeks, maybe up to a month. Thinking of the PNW but maybe somewhere a bit closer to home. Not yet sure but I've always been PNW curious and I've got the time at the moment to get away.

I've never used a service like AirBNB or anything like it at all.

Anyone use these often? Any tips? Hints to have a good experience and avoid a bad one? Looking for safety and privacy and the idea of just renting a room in a stranger's house seems odd to all involved.

Discuss everything if you've ever done an extended stay using a service like this. I know it can be hit or miss and I've heard some stories that make me have second thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
