Ever saw the movie The Holiday (2006)?
Remember when Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) switched houses? One of them was from England and the other was from LA, they both wanted to escape from their life in the city and seek comfort some place they've never been. While finding a hotel seems like the usual option, imagine going on a vacation, but at the end of every tiring dayyou get to hop on your bed as if it were home!
The house alone gives the entire Surrey experience. The fireplace, the carpets, the paintings, the stone walls. Some things you can never get from a hotel. I've always thought this whole idea house-booking idea is all but a dream, until I found out about Airbnb.com.
I learned about Airbnb through my sister when she went to Malaysia a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was brilliant!
The idea is they have listings of houses (homes) all around the world, and you can view pictures and details, and book them right there and then as you would with hotels.
Well you are not exactly switching houses like in the movie, but you book them like hotels. (Which is better for me because I haven't got a house to swap with!)
I got very lucky to find this listing in Airbnb which I equally loved!

Cozy living room. I can picture myself growing old here.[/caption]

The kind of houses you only see in movies. Gaah! Isn't it lovely! *cries silently*[/caption]

The house listing on Airbnb.com[/caption]
This place is for Php 4,030 a night for the entire house which is nice if you are coming with the whole family or barkada. They won't charge for extra guests. The neighbourhood is in England countryside, probably 50 minutes away from London. Just the perfect escape.
If you are not after the whole old European house thing, you'd still find yourself a place to stay anywhere else from Airbnb. Prices can go as low as 1,000++/night in England, or even cheaper in most countries.
I have a few travels scheduled for the year and I can't wait to book all my accommodations from Airbnb! Yay!
