7) Look out for split stays

When you’re searching for places to stay on Airbnb, you might see the option of a split stay—either when you’re spending a longer time in one location, or you’re searching by category (so camping, surfing, or whatever it is).

You can’t turn the split stays option on or off, but you can look out for it in the search results when you’re booking your trip. The advantage of the split stay is that it makes more properties available to you (an average of 40 percent more, Airbnb says).

The Airbnb site or app will guide you through booking a split stay step by step, so you can easily manage both places—you’ll even get a map animation showing the distance between the two spots that you’ve chosen.
