Do people looking for somewhere to live look on both sites?
I have used Spareroom and my yearly subscription runs out soon.
I have had people make equiries that were currently using Airbnb.
Do people still get enquiries with just the free add?

I believe when I renewed it was ok with lodgers. I dont live in a city, 5 miles away from Leeds.0 -
Never paid to post an ad on spareroom. Had quite a few inquiries from a number of prospective lodgers. Eventually ended up with a pair of very nice young ladies who are here for the long term.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Always used the paid subscription to Spareroom.
For occasional short lets in the summer ie less that a month, initially attempted to use Airbnb but gave up and used Spareroom. Have always managed to fill those the short lets, could be because I don't provide any meals so I am cheap(er) than Airbnb around me."... during that time you must never succumb to buying an extra piece of bread for the table or a toy for a child, no." the Pawnbroker 1964
