If you generally shun room service and have an aversion to bellhops, we've got good news. AirBNB is a website that helps you find alternative accommodation in spare rooms (or yachts, or Airstream trailers...) around the world. They recently launched a new Groups feature so you can narrow your search to hosts with similar interests to yours and “travel in your tribe”.
The photography (257 rooms) and graphic design (73 rooms) groups are already well-stocked, and there's even a group for Eames Enthusiasts (43 rooms) – if you're particular about your chairs after a long day of sightseeing.
