People rent out rooms in their homes so that travellers can stay in a real house rather than a hotel. There are places to stay all over the world and some are quite unusual. When I went to Paris, I stayed in Nathalie’s spare room in her apartment. Although the room was nothing special, it was great to stay with a real French person. She helped me with my French and told me about some good places to go that weren’t in my travel guide. One day, she even took me to her favourite café. So actually, instead of going to touristy places, I did what the locals do instead.
