Mombasa is one of the most visited cities in Kenya by both domestic and international visitors. Through Airbnb, which has a unique approach to accommodation, you can get a cheap place where you can spend a night or two or more at somebody’s residence. Airbnb basically offers you someone’s home as a place to stay instead of a hotel but you get to book online.
On the other hand, if you want to make some extra money and have extra space in your home, you can start hosting through Airbnb and make money when guests spend a night at your home.
