Do you know BedBazar?

BedBazar is one those new entrants I have discovered recently.

They aim to link travelers with flats/house owners who wish to rent their home whilst they are going away for holidays. The website also offers alternative accomodation content like Bed & Breakfast, Guest Inns and more.

BedBazar works with more than 35,000 flats/houses aorund the world.

This summer, more than 3,000 travellers will be connected with house owners in Canada.

The website is available in 6 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian) and has been founded by a French and Canadian team. I will try to get a video interview with the team when I will be in Paris.

Thanks for this. I had problem getting the English language version to work properly, only part of it appeared in English. Which is fair enough, it's early days I suppose. And are prices that cheap? Euros715 for a week in Granton on Spay seems a lot, especially when compared to something like, say, ownersdirect.co.uk. Would you know why they've done so well in France?

A very useful site, but bear in mind that commercial sites will always give [relatively] expensive recommendations. If you want to find cheaper ones, talk with people who've done some traveling on their own and ask for their recommendations. For this purpose, the best thing to do is to log into a travel social network like www.trekcafe.com and see what people think.
