BOSTON, MA
FHBO.com allows property searchers to filter properties by location, keywords, # bedrooms, # beds, Internet availability and availability dates. For each property, you can view photos, rates, reviews and a map of the exact property location. It's free to search FHBO's property listings and visitors to the site can save a link to a specific property for future reference.
"Many times business travelers or vacationers just assume they have to stay in a hotel and absorb the cost. Unlike a hotel room, a furnished property offers the amenities of home such as a full kitchen and comfortable living space," said David Alex-Barton, founder of FHBO.com. "With our global online service, travelers have multiple options literally at their finger tips--whether they are looking for a furnished New York studio, a self-catered London flat, or a tropical island vacation villa."
In addition to being an invaluable resource for travelers, FHBO.com is a boon for property owners in an economy when many travelers have cut back. For a low annual fee of $99, each property listing is highlighted with large photos, concise property details, an availability calendar, a Google map, rates, reviews and direct owner contact including a direct link to the owner's Web site.
FHBO.com offers an easy-to-use interface so owners can add properties quickly and easily. For even greater exposure, FHBO.com promotes individual rental listings on several online services such as Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook , Twitter, and YouTube. In addition, FHBO.com will also feature select properties on its home page.
