This is what AirBnB was built on. A family has an extra room and rents it out to earn some extra money. This is a working home. It was clean, the room was nice, they had a very friendly indoor cat, access to the refrigerator and pantry for breakfast and I shared a bathroom. I arranged this on very short notice and after a minor hiccup on check in, due to my arrival being delayed at the airport, was able to access the home and get a good night's sleep. All worked out well.
