Speaker 3:They do. Kailash Travel Radio Action Country and.
Speaker 2:ZMAX Radio.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:And of course me Z Michelson Podcast.
Speaker 3:Travel information.
Speaker 2:And then, of course, we can be bought.
Speaker 3:We can be bought out. Huh, yes, we can be bought out.
Speaker 2:Yes, we can be bought, so feel free to buy us information. Yes, we are the humor. We are the humor we are, we are here to let everybody know. Yes, you know, I know that we always talk about rediscovering america, uh-huh, and we have done our fair share of trotting around the united states, yes, but we never really talk about where we stay. No, yeah, so today, what I'm going to talk about is Airbnbs. Oh, my goodness, yeah, have you stayed or booked any of these?
Speaker 3:Well, yes, I did, you did yes, when? Well, I didn't book it, my son booked it. Oh, your son booked it, of course, from Florida to Colorado.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, airbnbs with some special places, so maybe, we'll be talking about them, okay, yeah, my daughter loves to stay at them as well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she checks, she books them she books them Is it a Gen X thing.
Speaker 2:It might be because the kids are the same age, or roughly the same age, and she even books them overseas, right, yeah, yeah. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. Well, that's a good idea. So what I'm going to be chatting about is how do you book an Airbnb? How does it work?
Speaker 3:That is my question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's the first question up. I find my information on several sites. One is called NerdWallet. You know, I look at NerdWallet and see what they have to say, and then I also talk to my daughter, because she does a lot of this. But after my first day with my sister and my daughter and her friend at an Airbnb, the jury's still out for me. Yeah, yeah, it's basically you are renting someone else's home, right? Yeah, it can be cheaper alternative. Yeah, but sometimes you have many people and you need more room, so it's kind of a good thing there so you stayed.
Speaker 2:This is the first time you've first time I've ever stayed in an airbnb airbnb. Wow, you know because I, you know, I'm a travel advisor and people do ask do I book airbnbs? And my answer is no right, I personally do not book airbnbs but that's kind of like a personal thing it is, it really is really is.
Speaker 2:Airbnb is often tend to indicate and include. They all have couches that will pull out or futons so you can sleep more people. You know where we stayed. There were three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen.
Speaker 3:Did they have a couch?
Speaker 2:or a futon. They had an actual Murphy bed, which you wouldn't know was a Murphy bed. It looked like an entertainment unit that was closed, which was kind of cool. Yeah, so you know you can do that. Who?
Speaker 3:got the Murphy bed.
Speaker 2:Nobody. My sister had a room, I had a room and my daughter and her girlfriend that known each other since grade school they shared a room. Oh cool, so it was comfortable. I have to say it was a comfortable feeling.
Speaker 3:What other amenities do they have?
Speaker 2:Well, typically what they'll have is it's a house, so they'll have washing machines. They'll have kitchens with dishwashers because you're using their dishes, they have all that supplied Right and it's an option to save a little bit of money. If you've got a whole big family going, you can cook at home. You may also be able to find an Airbnb where there may not be a hotel, which was where we were staying. There were no hotels, oh, wow, yeah. So that was kind of one of the reasons why my daughter opted for an Airbnb for us and I let her handle that, because that's her forte she loves Airbnbs, and some of the Airbnbs even have different style homes. Like what?
Speaker 3:Like tree houses, oh my goodness, do you want to stay in a tree house? No, I'm not sure. Or a lighthouse, yeah.
Speaker 2:They even have a replica of the 100-acre wood Winnie the Pooh 100-acre wood I guess I didn't read that. Yeah, so I mean, they have these amazing things and, like I said, the house that we were in was right there on the canal, by the water, so it had a dock, which was kind of cool, you know, but I wanted to go to the beach.
Speaker 3:And when.
Speaker 2:I go to the beach. I want to walk right out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I, I'm going back up here saving a little money, where it says they have kitchens and you got to do the dishes.
Speaker 2:Yes, when I'm on vacation. I don't want to do dishes, I don't want to do laundry, I don't want to cook. I want to be pampered when I'm on vacation. That's me too. However, I have yet to see an Airbnb that comes with a butler.
Speaker 3:But I'm pumped Right. Wait a minute, wait a minute. There's a drumbeat there someplace.
Speaker 2:You got a drumbeat for me. I got it someplace.
Speaker 3:I can't find it Okay.
Speaker 2:But Airbnbs also have some some challenges, such as uh, check-in processes are inconsistent because, remember, you're, you're getting your um, you're getting this home from somebody, okay, and they all have different processes to be going through. Yeah, some hosts make you meet up with them in person to exchange keys, yeah, while other units unlock remotely, so you never have to meet the owner. There are a lot of policies, for instance, parties. How many you know? Can you have a party, you know? If some people say, well, I know, our B&B sleeps 12 and we have this big deck, but you can't have a party or a wedding or anything there, why do it then? Yeah, exactly. And then you have cancellation, you know, then, why do it then Exactly? And then you have cancellation things and they vary from property to property.
Speaker 3:There are tons of fees.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, that's not included in the price you get, no, which again varies by property. Couple that with the Airbnb lack of a loyalty program, so it doesn't always come out to be cheaper than hotels. Not always Not always. Again, look at the size of your group, look at where they're staying, look at what's going on, and sometimes you're only renting part of the home or property. So, you got to be aware of that you might be renting a mother-in-law suite.
Speaker 3:Well, usually those are separate enough right.
Speaker 2:Not really, Not really. I mean, you know, in New York mother-in-law suites are very common.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:And they're pretty much attached right to the person's house. It's not like they're in the backyard or something and over to the side. So they're pretty much attached and you have to be aware of what amenities are offered. Yeah, because each one offers different amenities, like the one I stayed at. Where did you stay? What did you have? Well, what we had. We had a boat dock, which was kind of nice, but we didn't have a boat. There were kayaks, but you couldn't put the kayak in the water because the water was too low from the dock. I mean, you would have to throw the kayak in and, like, leap off into the kayak and you're not a leaper.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not going to leap.
Speaker 2:We had a barbecue. We had a golf cart that seated six.
Speaker 3:Well, that was nice, did you ride it?
Speaker 2:Yes, of course Play on it. We went around with the golf cart and looked at the houses in the neighborhood. Like I said, where we were staying, which was Indian Rocks Beach, is where we stayed.
Speaker 3:Oh okay, that's on the west coast of Florida.
Speaker 2:And there was no hotels in that region and they don't want hotels in that region. So there were a lot of B&Bs. They had beach chairs and beach toys that you could utilize.
Speaker 3:But you couldn't get to the beach.
Speaker 2:You had to drive a little bit to the beach.
Speaker 3:You had to drive a little bit to the beach.
Speaker 2:Some have more or less the same, so you got to be aware of what amenities are being offered. So that's another thing you have to look at when you're renting an Airbnb. Okay, so you decide on an Airbnb.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, how do you book?
Speaker 2:it? How do you book? There are many reputable companies out there, so do your homework.
Speaker 3:Isn't there a website called Airbnb?
Speaker 2:Right, and then they have all different ones. You know Airbnb is the name of a company, and then you have B&Bs and then you just go and look to see. Booking one is fairly straightforward. The websites offer robust filters so you can narrow down your rentals based on the dates, number of guests, other features like whether the rental offers amenities like cribs, accessible showers, free parking.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Sometimes these places don't have like. When my daughter went overseas she was in Portugal and she went with her in-laws and you know there was a big party of them. I think there was.
Speaker 3:Oh, 15, wasn't there.
Speaker 2:Two, four, six.
Speaker 3:You're counting on your toes, I'm counting on my toes.
Speaker 2:I think there were six adults and one toddler.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you know, one place was in the city, in Lisbon, so naturally there was no parking, which they really didn't need really and then the other one was on the outskirts of another town, so it was a little bit different, but both places were very nice. There are different categories. They featured which gives you the option to browse properties by a different criteria, so rather than searching for a specific city or region, you can see properties all around the world that fall into the categories that you want. That's weird, right? Something weird or something whimsical. Do you want a baby grand piano? Maybe you're a piano player, oh, you know, so you can have baby grand, wow. Other categories include like a chef's kitchen, which I know that your lovely wife would probably enjoy, but when she's on vacation.
Speaker 3:She doesn't want to cook.
Speaker 2:There's homes near national parks and they go simple, or a yurt. You can rent a yurt. Yes, I see your hand raised. Yes, Jay. I don't know what a yurt is. A yurt is like a funky tent, it's round. Oh, we saw those in Yellow is A yurt is like a funky tent, it's round.
Speaker 3:Oh, we saw those in Yellowstone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it has like a cone on top and it's round.
Speaker 2:So those are yurts. So yeah, so you can even rent a yurt. And here's some new trends going on, and I'm probably going to say this word wrong. It's called a hanok H-A-N-O-K, which is a traditional Korean home. H-a-n-o-k, which is a traditional Korean home. What's that? It's the type of Korean home I guess, so new and top of the world, indicating homes that are at least about 10,000 feet above sea level or higher. Now I've seen some stuff on side of mountains.
Speaker 1:Like no, I wouldn't yeah, but if that's your thing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, if that's your thing. But, yeah, but if that's your thing, yeah, if that's your thing. So there's lots and lots of different things that you can do with b&b's well, it's unique how you can categorize or find out what you want and there's a lot here in the orlando region because people are coming down with large families that want to go to disney but they don't want to stay on property and they have all these kids and you know yeah, you need a big house and you know.
Speaker 3:so it's rent a house and it's for family. That's kind of the thing.
Speaker 2:And my niece did that. Her and her husband came down they have four kids I'm counting on my fingers again and they stayed at a B&B, probably about 15 minutes from Disney. They had each one of them had a bedroom. They had a swimming pool that they could utilize, but again you got to put in groceries.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, yeah. So you have to make sure, yeah, but if you're doing it for the family, if it's a big deal, yeah.
Speaker 2:It saves you a little money there.
Speaker 3:So most have you gone out to eat lately, right, whoa.
Speaker 2:Well, we have, but actually with me and my husband it's actually cheaper because my husband throws away leftovers, but yeah, so I mean something like that where the kids can use the pool and you can, you know, have like unwind time. So that makes it nice. So, again, that was an amenity that she opted for. The ones in Europe that my daughter was at in Portugal not only had a pool, it had a view of the ocean, it had a hot tub, you know. So there's things like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you look for the amenities that you want and, of course, you're going to see multiple photos, you know, with detailed descriptions, and they also have reviews, which should give you an idea of what you're in for Right Should Now the photos, which should give you an idea of what you're in for, right Should?
Speaker 3:Now the photos. I want to make sure that you know, right, are they doctored?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, just like selling a house. Is that really doctored? Is there a roof on that house?
Speaker 3:that I'm going to see yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if there aren't many high-quality photos and there are no reviews, you might want to be a brand new listing. Well, that would be great, yeah, but it also might be a warning sign.
Speaker 3:So keep that in mind. Something to look out for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, read the descriptions carefully, very carefully, really. Yeah, they typically detail important information such as pet rules. Like I know my daughter, she takes her animals sometimes, so she has to see what the pet requirements are. Right, noise rules no noise after like 10 o'clock at night, uh-oh, you know. So you got to be careful on that. Or the limit on guests. I know it sleeps eight, but if you put that ninth person in you might be in trouble. Oh, wow, some owners also require you to sign a separate contract or a rental agreement outside of the standard B&B contracts, yeah, which typically be spelled out in a description as well. So you got to read the fine print. They have features that let you message the host before booking. Well, that's good.
Speaker 2:Now, when we went to this in particular one, it rained, and I'm going to be very vulgar. It rained like piss on a rock one night, yes, and it was just coming down in droves. What did we lose? We lost power for a few seconds and then the cable went out. Oh no, so none of us could use our phones, we couldn't use our computers, and then we're trying to figure out where it was. You know how do we reboot it, how do we reboot the system. Yeah, and some Airbnbs will have directions on how everything works.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:This in particular, airbnb didn't think of that.
Speaker 3:Oh no.
Speaker 2:So my daughter had to contact the guy and say how do we get this back on? So make sure you can contact the host. It's very, very important. Some homes let you book instantaneously, you know you don't have to go through a process, While others require you to send an owner request for approval, and sometimes that's only because it's booked out. You know. So you need to know Paying. How do you pay for this stuff? How do you pay for all of this stuff? Payment methods in most countries include major charge cards, which is what we used.
Speaker 3:A Visa, a MasterCard and and.
Speaker 2:American Express and most debit cards can be processed as a credit card, and other payment services like PayPal, apple Pay, google Pay, are also available. If you find yourself in a situation, however, where the host is asking to be paid separately, such as through Venmo payments or bank transfers, be careful.
Speaker 3:Could be a scam.
Speaker 2:They just want to get your money. Oh wow, yeah, so be careful with that. Yeah, kind of like renting a house you got to know who you're paying.
Speaker 3:I'm looking up, oh this beautiful house and I send this money and whoop it was a scam. Right up all this beautiful house and I send this money and whoop it was a scam.
Speaker 2:Right, you're sending it to the supposed owner oh, wow yeah, so you gotta be careful. So make sure you're going through a reputable b&b company. Yeah, and make sure you read the fine prints. But before we get into more information, how about a traveling trivia question? Oh, trivia, traveling trivia.
Speaker 3:The answer is Airbnb.
Speaker 2:What is the second smallest country in the world after Vatican City?
Speaker 3:Vatican City is next to the largest smallest.
Speaker 2:Vatican City is the smallest. What is the second smallest country in the world after Vatican City?
Speaker 3:The answer isn't listed on my script.
Speaker 2:No, it's not. What do you think I'm going to let you cheat, Jay?
Speaker 3:I would have no idea, okay.
Speaker 2:It surprised me, but you'll know the place.
Speaker 3:Let's um. Is it in North America? No. Is it in Europe? Yes.
Speaker 2:I don't think you've been there, but I know you know it. Let's see. Can I give you a hint, grace Kelly.
Speaker 3:Monaco. Yes, oh, that is the smallest country.
Speaker 2:Second smallest country after Vatican City. I see, yeah, I knew Grace Kelly would give it away. Yeah, wow, yeah. So Monaco. I knew Grace Kelly would give it away. Yeah, yeah, wow, yeah. So Monaco. I was surprised to see that too. It was like oh wow, monaco, that's one place I want to go see. Really I'll have to have a lot more money to go.
Speaker 3:Yes, Make sure you get to the casino Right.
Speaker 2:Here's my dollar. Okay, let's get back to renting the B&Bs.
Speaker 3:I'm just so excited.
Speaker 2:You got an answer.
Speaker 3:Well, I can get an answer with a clue. I phoned a friend.
Speaker 2:Right, he had a clue. Okay, so checking in and checking out Okay, check-in processes vary from Airbnb to Airbnb.
Speaker 3:It's always the easiest is getting in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, checking in is a little bit more of a process. Checking in, oh really, yeah, not like checking into a hotel. There's no front desk, there's no 24-7 to issue a key. B&b check-in policies vary widely by property to property. There could be an in-person key exchange, but then there are properties with more complicated features such as guard gates or coded entries. Yeah, so you also have to be aware, if you're going international, to make sure you have an adequate international cell phone coverage or access to wifi so you can actually chat, especially if your transportation is delayed. You know, in today's a day and age, with planes being delayed all over the place, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you'll have to meet up later than expected, so forth and so on and other possible check-in methods. The host leaves instructions. The key is under the floor pot, you know something like that Keys are left in the numbered lockbox and the host messages you with the code Well, that's good, Right, or a neighbor, co-hosthost or building door person meets you.
Speaker 3:So, there's.
Speaker 2:There's a few different things, you know um. The one that we were at had a key code to get into the front door.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, but that's good Cause you were, you were given it, right.
Speaker 2:But after the processes were paid. When were they given that key code after you paid? Oh, um, so you know things like that. Now, typically, the host will message you the check-in details 48 hours prior to your trip. Okay, and it could be on the app, it could be on the website, it could be anywhere, but they'll let you know. You know. You also check out, okay.
Speaker 3:This is what I'm in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you may have to clean up before checking out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm in. Yeah, you may have to clean up before checking out. Yeah, yeah, I'm not into that either. You know my vacation. So the check-in processes vary by property. The check-out processes also vary. Some hosts have specific cleanup instructions, such as asking you to put used towels and sheets in the laundry room or to start the dishwasher. Other hosts let you leave the house as is and handle the cleanup themselves. Oh well, that's good. Now I know. When we left, we had to take all of the towels we used and put them on the floors in the bathroom. We had to leave the beds unmade. We also had to start the dishwasher, make sure all the dishes were in the dishwasher and start the dishwasher.
Speaker 3:So we didn't have to do much. Did they have a book on the instructions? They did not have any instructions. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2:This in particular one did not, some other ones do.
Speaker 3:The ones I stayed in did Right. They have a book.
Speaker 2:This is what you do.
Speaker 3:A, B, C, goodbye.
Speaker 2:The majority of hosts also charge a cleaning fee, so that's also included. Cleaning fee so that's also included. Make sure you look at that fine print, which are one-time charges pocketed by the host and it covers the cost of doing the laundry or scrubbing the toilets. They're separate from base price, in addition to the service fees or charges for optional add-ons.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you got to beware. Ah, that travel tip.
Speaker 3:Do you have a travel tip for us today?
Speaker 2:I always have a travel tip, but what travel tip should I talk about? I think I'm going to talk about traveling off season. Oh yeah, it's getting there. Yeah, I mean why? For a couple of different reasons.
Speaker 3:We're in season now, yeah.
Speaker 2:One is crowds are not that thick. You know people like to go to Europe a lot in the summer, but usually in the height of summer Italy, france you know it's all packed and you're going to run into that it's going to be crowded, it's going to be thick crowds. Also, your prices can be a little higher too in season, a little less Off season. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to deal with weather issues, like if you go into the desert in the summer, it's going to be hot, or if you're going to a cold region in the winter, it's going to be cold, it's going to be a little chilly, but you're still getting the full adventure. So if you go to like Ireland or England and it's like September, october, it might be a little rainy, but you're still getting the fun.
Speaker 3:It's off season. It's like September, October. It might be a little rainy, but you're still getting the fun it's off-season.
Speaker 2:It's off-season, but you're saving some money Now how do I know what is off-season?
Speaker 3:Is there a book published called Off-Season?
Speaker 2:Technically, you should contact your travel advisor and say I want to go off-season to such and such and they'll let you know, because it differs from place to place. You know, like the southern part of our continent of the world, you know the southern part of our globe, winter is our summer and our winter is their summer.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, yeah. So you have to be aware, I want to go to Australia, right, whoa it's winter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's winter down there it's winter right now. Well, maybe.
Speaker 3:I should be going.
Speaker 2:Going right now, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, is it real cold in Australia?
Speaker 2:It depends on where you're going. Remember, Australia is a very big continent.
Speaker 3:It's bigger than the United States, I understand.
Speaker 2:It's a little large. Yes, it's a little large. So contact your travel advisor and say you know, I really want to go to Italy but I don't want all the crowds, and then they'll advise you to go closer to, like September, october, off season. That's what we're talking about. Yep, wow, b&bs, b&bs. Well, jay, after I stayed in one I'm not quite certain I'll do it again in the near future, unless there are many of us going. Right, I like being pampered. Just remember that if you are going to do a B&B, do your homework on the location you're going to, on the company you're working, with all the rules and regulations that go with that B&B. Also, talk to people that have stayed at B&Bs and get some more insight from them. Many travel advisors are starting to work with B&Bs, so you can talk to your travel advisor and they can give you some insight. Remember, this is someone else's house, so treat it like your own. Yeah, yeah, be courteous, can?
Speaker 2:I say one thing Do you want to say one?
Speaker 3:thing. Yeah, this travel podcast is brought to you by Collage Travel Media Network. I just wanted to say that again.
Speaker 2:You wanted to say it again. Yeah Well, I'm glad you did. I'm glad you did. So you stayed at one. Would you stay again at another Airbnb?
Speaker 3:I'm not looking forward to it. That's too much work for me, Right? I mean?
Speaker 2:it's like just okay to me. Yeah, you know, but I understand if you're traveling with eight, nine, ten people and they've got a big house, you know where you can sleep eight, nine, ten, then that makes sense. Yeah, and I'll have my son book it right and I usually have my daughter book it so you know, it's their, it's their problem, so we can always. We can always yell at them later if it doesn't work out. But I was just uh.
Speaker 3:In the last summer we went on a vacation in colorado, right, and I stayed at Home. 2 Suites by Hilton.
Speaker 2:Oh, by Hilton. Yeah, and it's almost like an Airbnb. Yeah, it's big enough and you don't have to worry about all that other stuff.
Speaker 2:Right right, I hear you. I hear you. But, like I said, many people like their B&Bs and you know, hats off, but do your homework and know where you're going. And again, be aware. Yeah, yeah, homework and know where you're going. And again, be aware. Yeah, yeah, so much traveling to do, so little time to do it in.
