If you’re looking for an Airbnb in advance, it’s a good idea to send a message to the host and ask them for a discount. Even a simple message like, “Hi, I’m considering a few Airbnbs in the area and yours is a little more expensive than others. Would you consider a discount for these dates: _____” will get results more often than not. If you’re going for weeks or months you can sometimes get a very significant discount. Find 3-5 Airbnbs that you’re interested in, ask them all for discounts, and take the one that ends up being the best value.
