An alternative to B&Bs - airbnb in Hants Border

A few years ago, tourists chose to spend their nights in established Bed and Breakfasts. Each one was unique, more homey, more personal, and less expensive than hotels or motels.

Today, some tourists find that this has changed. The prices have soared.

To counter this, airbnb has developed. People rent out unused space in their homes. And visitors rent that space. It provides accommodations in 34,000 cities in 192 countries. For details, see LINK

Sue Wolststenholme has enrolled her home on Avon Street on airbnb and is glad she did. She makes the room available and guests find R & G's Restaurant handy for supper and breakfast. 

In addition to running an airbnb, Sue weaves in the studio she shares with her daughter  Colleen. 
A woman from Dubai whose son is a student at Acadia has booked the room for 1 1/2 weeks in the New Year.
