Press Release Summary: Site That Enables Users to Book Stays with Locals Online
Provides Housing for Conference Attendees without Hotel Reservations

Press Release Body: San Francisco, Calif., August 11, 2008 - AirBed&Breakfast
announced today the formal launch of its travel Web site, Airbedandbreakfast.com,
which combines the organic experience of staying with a local with the convenience
and efficiency of booking a hotel room online. The site, which provides a fully
automated service for booking a stay with local residents in more than 100 cities
across the globe through a social networking-style format, offers a convenient,
secure and cost-effective alternative in light of the lack of hotel accommodations
for thousands of Democratic/Republican convention attendees.

"Our service enables cities like Denver and St. Paul to greatly expand their
capacities for events like this," said Brian Chesky, Co-Founder, AirBed&Breakfast.
"In just a few clicks, folks who would like to attend the conventions but don't have
hotel reservations can book a stay with a Denver or St. Paul local. Just visit our
site and click 'DNC/RNC' and you'll see hundreds of listings in all price ranges."

Unlike renting rooms through online classified listings, AirBed&Breakfast's booking
process is 100 percent automated, with monetary transactions being handled through
the site, creating a streamlined process for guest and host. Additionally,
AirBed&Breakfast gives the host the option of donating either a portion or their
entire fee to the candidate of their choice.

"Obama and McCain supporters have an historic opportunity before them," said Joe
Gebbia, Co-Founder, AirBed&Breakfast. "They can support their candidate by attending
the convention AND know that the money that they would have spent on a hotel room is
going to be donated to their campaign fund."

Word about AirBedandBreakfast.com is spreading rapidly, especially in Denver, where
on average 50 new hosts are signing up per day. Beyond the conventions, however,
AirBed&Breakfast provides an ever-increasing selection of unique experiences for the
adventurous traveler looking for a viable alternative to the generic hotel
experience.

Other features of Airbedandbreakfast.com include:
- Single profile listing on a social networking-style page instead of weekly
postings in classifieds
- Profiles provide more information - also links profiles on other social networking
sites
- Ratings and reviews of guests/hosts
- Search by location / check-in, check-out date
- Opportunities to network with people with mutual interests

AirBed&Breakfast to Add Lasting Value beyond the Conventions

Even after the conventions, hosts will be able to make an extra buck off of their
rooms without having to become landlords or get locked into a long-term commitment
to a roommate, particularly during rare national events such as the Super Bowl or a
major concert series such as the Vans Warped Tour. Hosts can limit availability to
whatever days they would like. Moreover, hosts always have the right to decline any
prospective guests. Travelers, in the meantime, will always have a cheaper
alternative to hotels that provides a localized experience that a concierge desk
cannot match.
