Sheepishly admitting that I'm way behind the times and have never booked Airbnb before. We are a family of 5 with 3 children aged between 12 and 9. We do lots of small trips away around the UK throughout the year. Normally we book 2 rooms somewhere basic like Premier Inn.
This used to work well as my eldest has autism and doesn't sleep so he'd be in one room with me or dh and the others would be next door, able to sleep at a reasonable hour.
Eldest is now getting much better with his sleep and me and dh would actually like to sleep in the same bed when we have a little trip away so we're thinking of getting apartments.
We're planning a week in Edinburgh next May (I know it's ages away) and there's some lovely airbnb's but, I dunno, for some reason I'm worried something would go wrong? Don't know what I think will go wrong. Gross property? Non existent property? I've no idea.
The trips are organised to the max in order to prepare eldest so I don't like the idea that something may not go to plan.
Can anyone put my mind at rest and explain how it works, what's good about it, what to look out for, etc?
