• Vacation stay

  I would recommend double checking hostels. Most have private rooms. My partner and I have stayed in tons of hostels during our 20s/early 30s and it is definitely a great option financially. Otherwise something like trustedhousesitters.com might be worth looking into. Source: about 1 year ago

  I know, I know: there's lots of ways this could go sideways.
