@Frances_Coppola - What is new is that it allows strangers to feel safe to rent to and stay in stranger's homes. That is new.

@Frances_Coppola - Also new is they don't have to be professionals, full time holiday home or B&B landladies - allows flexible use.

@MForstater they do have to be professionals. They are running small businesses letting rooms for money.

@Frances_Coppola B&Bs are small hotels. Guesthouses are either v. nasty or v. fancy. These are often just ordinary ppl with a spare room

@MForstater even if they are "ordinary people with a spare room", they are still running small businesses letting rooms for money.

@Frances_Coppola @MForstater. True in nexus of economic relationship but suspect owners see it differently, as more of a guest/host nexus.

@iaincampbell07 @MForstater but it really isn't. It's a commercial relationship.

@Frances_Coppola @iaincampbell07 - expectations of service qualitatively different on both sides to B&B stay
