Answer 2

Are you considering renting home in absence of the owners for short period (like rental apartment) or living with another family for a vacation. Both are fun in its own way. There are many web-sites you can use for this purpose.

If you are considering living with another family, its best to do some research about the terms and conditions or the arrangement they offer and the kind of family. Most hosts who subscribe to this idea are hospitable and accommodating. You also have to learn to adjust with the needs of the family you are sharing with. The biggest advantage of this arrangement is you can learn a lot about the new place and culture living with a family.
