Founded and headquarted in San Francisco in 2008, Airbnb is an accommodation platform which allows users to list, find and rent apartments for short-term vacation stays. The name ‘Airbnb’ was inspired by the air mattress the founders rented out in their apartment, due to the soaring demand for affordable accommodation in San Francisco. From that one air mattress the company has grown to have over two million listings for beds, rooms, apartments as well as a wealth of unusual accommodation options including tents and boats.
As of September 2015, the city with the most Airbnb units, which were actively being rented, was New York City with 22,876 active units.
