Krip 2 #1 March 6, 2017 Hi Boogie Folks Anyone ever stay in one these places? Close To A DZ. We never heard of them until 6 months ago. ROne Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #2 March 7, 2017 We have used them a few times and they're pretty awesome so far. We treat them as our own place and it works out pretty well. Some even include free snacks and such."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #3 March 7, 2017 I have had mostly good experiences. Spend time reading the reviews that other guest leave, that helps weed out places you may not want to stay."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethInMI 174 #4 March 7, 2017 We've used AirBnB in Europe, Canada, NZ, and the USA, and had a lot of great experiences and a few so-so ones, but we continue to use them almost exclusively now for travel (the wife and I). I've even used them a few times for business travel, just to switch it up a bit. We've rented whole houses/apartments and also just a room. In addition to the good "read the reviews" advice, I would also caution if you are just renting a room, be aware that you are living with other people which is a lot more of a crapshoot than getting a whole place to yourself. Some owners are never around or are mouse-quiet, others are more invasive which can be good or bad. The worst for us was staying with a family with a young child who woke everyone up crying at 4 am cause he wet the bed. Not the end of the world, but not what we wanted on a vacation either.It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

Krip 2 #5 March 7, 2017 Hi Ski and Dough. Your both correct in a way. AirBNB is like a box of chocolate you don't know whats in the center until you bite into it. NEWSFLASH: Sorry you'll have to google this. Trump towers had a condo listed on ABNB for a long time until about a week ago. Only $300 - $450/night Great view of the Manhattan skyline. Excellent security. FWIW I'm not a fan of AirBNB. To the mods this is not a political rant, or a anti new wave rant The knowledge gained from this thread may enhance the skydivers DZ experience. If you want to hide this thread in the deep black hole in SC what ever floats your boat. R One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowflowx2 0 #6 March 9, 2017 I have been using it for the last few years when going to events at Sebastian. There's a lot to be said about not sleeping in a tent and having a hot shower when you start to get a bit older. I typically stay at the same woman's house whenever I go. she has private door to the room and there's even enough space to pack a rig if needed. $35 bucks a night.
