I recently booked my first stay (going to Amsterdam for a week!) And my profile was connected to my FB (not sure if thats a requirement), I made sure to fully verify my identity, I fleshed out my bio with my age, occupation, and "travel style". Any time I would email a host I'd include my age, name, occupation as well as the ages and general occupations of my travel buddies. I'd compliment whatever I liked about their home, express my excitement over seeing or doing X thing in their area to further personalize it, and invite them to ask questions. I'd close with a friendly salutation. I ended up with a very sweet girl in a great area paying more than I'd prefer, but still a great rate. I don't think I'll ever stay in a hotel again and I'm already looking at some stateside trips for later in the year!

Absolutely! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/917887 There are 4 of us and a major sticking point was a place with TWO bathrooms (with 2 men and 2 women, 2 bathrooms was really a major necessity for us), otherwise we probably could have found a cheaper places. Also, apparenltly 2.5 months is nearly too late to book a place! I looked at literally dozens and dozens of apartments, and this was nearly the last available. LESSON LEARNED. I will be back from my trip the second weekend in May, so I'll be sure to update with a review of the place.
