How to turn your spare room into a one-room hotel

The past year or two has seen a number of peer-to-peer websites set up which help homeowners rent out their spare room on an ad-hoc basis. Positioned somewhere between a hotel and couchsurfing, "hosts" advertise space they have to rent out and "guests" make a booking.

Although spare rooms are most commonly advertised, you can let out all kinds of accommodation. At the lower end of the scale you might want to rent a futon in the living room to passing travellers, while some people might advertise their whole house to rent while they go on holiday.
