Watch: Meet Four Amazing Airbnb Hosts in Boston

From retirees supplementing their fixed income to students trying to cover the costs of Boston’s universities, Airbnb helps people afford an increasingly expensive city. Because for many Airbnb hosts, the extra income from sharing their home can make all the difference.

When a guest books a stay at an Airbnb home, 97% of the rental price goes directly to the host. 62% of Airbnb hosts in Boston say they use home sharing to help them pay their rent or mortgage.

Airbnb hosts don’t just share their homes – they share their neighborhoods and local business recommendations. When Airbnb guests stay local, they spend more money at local businesses.
