michael adams remarked: What's non-obvious from the 2nd reply (mine): "I've used it once and it was good. Turned out to be an upmarket professional B&B (rather than someone with a spare room, which I think is more common), " But from that, you could be talking about a single B&B somewhere. In the same sense that eBay only has one seller?? Er no. "Air B&B" could be the name of a single B&B, just the same as "Sunnyside B&B", or "Ardsley B&B" There's no indication from what you quoted there, that Air B&B doesn't refer to a single establishment rather than a website. I rather admire the extent to which you persist in digging. Let us know when you get to Australia. -- Roland Perry |
