An idea for a distributed hotel

Posted on October 12, 2009 by rahulgaitonde

One that doesn’t require a large, imposing building – or any building at all:

My friend Rony and I were speculating about a true “distributed hotel” that would rent out your apartment when you’re gone, handling keys, cleaning, payment, maintenance, insurance, emergencies, and other details for you. Maybe it could even help you secure your apartment, removing personal papers and storing them offsite in your absence.

Any idea if anyone anywhere’s doing this?

    I am not aware if anyone is doing, but I have heard that there is bed exchange that works on the principle – “You can stay in my home, if I can stay in somebody else’s from the same network”. Regarding distributed hotel – wouldn’t it be more logical to actually use only a room in the hosts’ house. That way host feels more secure, and he can also provide some food, advise, etc.
