MisterBnb is the AirBnb Alternative for Gay Travel
MisterBnb is a gay travel site where we can rent without the hassle of bias or rejection. Basically it’s a gay Airbnb. The great thing is that you can now book travel knowing you are being hosted by LGBT family and know they’re not someone who disagrees with our lifestyle.
MisterBnb is the perfect website for gay couples to find a beautiful place to stay in their downtime. The slogan speaks for itself with ‘œTravel With Pride.’ You can take your man or other guys back to your room without feeling judged (for the most part). You can search for gay destinations such as Soho in London, the Marais in Paris or Le Village in Montreal and look up properties beyond the typical gay neighborhoods.
The website (and now app) was started by a Frenchman Matthieu Jost and his partner after they rented a room in Barcelona through the popular rental site Airbnb. They had an uncomfortable welcome because they were a gay couple, and the situation prompted them to return home to Paris the next day.
Misterbnb has now reached over 50,000 gay hosts to choose from in major cities, the countryside, near gay pride events, honeymoon retreats, or as an exotic vacation. As Airbnb and the sharing economy have grown over the past few years this is a great alternative to meet new people with the same interests you may not have with the other apps. Wimbify is a similar LGBT app but hosts act more as ambassadors. We also enjoy the weekly emails from Misterbnb as they offer great travel tips (see below).

Misterbnb Travel Tips come weekly from hosts and can be really interesting to read. Here’s an example of a hosts recommendations:
What is the best gay event that takes place in Rome? The biggest gay event is the Gay Village that take place every hear from June to September. It is located in the EUR neighborhood. Full of dancing, people, and karaoke!
Best gay place to enjoy the sun surrounded by gay locals? Via San Giovanni in Laterano in the city center, or head to beach capocotta MEDITERRANEA on the seaside.
Ready to go dancing — what is the best gay dance club? The biggest dancing event is Muccassasina and the coolest is Glamda. The next day, go to Bar Necci in the Pigneto area for coffee and food to help you recover.
You’d think your personal possessions and money would be safe around security workers, but apparently they’re not. A TSA employee at Newark Liberty International Airport confessed on Monday that he actually stole money from passengers who went through his security checkpoint, and he accepted bribes and kickbacks for looking the other way while a co-worker did the same thing.
