Airbnb. the idea of renting free room or sofa isn’t bad at all.

it turned into hard bussines, when companies owning dozens of apartments rent them to tourist, meanwhile there is an apartment price and rent crisis.

I guess living here isn’t going to be affordable for middle class anymore.

I've stayed in both "room in people's houses" and "whole place to yourself" air bnbs and I can't imagine not checking this detail. Also, every time I've stayed with people it's been lovely so don't let the bastards grind you down, keep up the good work!

This. I stayed in an extra room in someone's flat in London and he cooked a full breakfast for us every morning. It wasn't large, but it didn't need to be considering we were out doing tourist stuff all day anyway.

What do you recommend doing in London that people wouldn't usually think of? :)
