Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

Airbnb is one of the world's largest marketplaces for unique, authentic places to stay and things to do, offering over seven million accommodations and 50,000 handcrafted activities, all powered by local hosts.
