What all can you do with an apartment in London? Let it lie idle, donate it to charity, let it out, lease it out, let your friends stay, let your relatives stay, sell it… Well, the list can go on endlessly. You may do as you please with your London apartment, and you alone have the prerogative to decide about your property.
However, times are hard and the economy is oscillating. You have been toying with the idea of letting the apartment out, but there are no takers. Then again, you are afraid that it may fall into bad hands.
However, there is one solution that is working for others around the globe, so it might as well work for you. If you visit www.wimdu.com, you will see that they bring together two groups of people that live a symbiotic existence. These are the hosts and guests.
People travel to places. Some travel for work, some out of necessity, and others to see the world and enjoy their vacation. All of them need some place to rest and roost at night. Of course, there are hotels to cater to that necessity, but then not all travelers wear the same hat.
There are sections among travelers who dislike the very idea of hotels. For them, hotels are places devoid of any personal touch. They would prefer to live with a family as a guest member, and make new friends.
Well, that is the idea behind Wimdu. If you can take in a guest or two and provide them with basic amenities like clean rooms, linen, towels, and a little more, you are in business.
Your London apartment can be put up for advertisement on Wimdu. Supply some photographs and other details like what tariff you are expecting in return for the amenities provided, and you can safely earn some money to keep you happy.
