... And welcome to CraneBnB, a virtual meeting place that connects visitors, and the like, to the finest guest maisonettes in the Greater Seattle Area. Inspired by AirBnB, CraneBnB allows its members the ability to host visitors in their own homes, or become guests in other members' spaces.
Don't miss this truly once in a lifetime opportunity to experience what Seattle has to offer. Where else can you see an ocean wave, a fish fly, a mountain peak, and the world's largest needle?
When navigating the site, users have the option to choose between the role of a Host, a Guest, or perhaps even both!
The main feature of CraneBnB
As a Host, users are able to list their home on the site and highlight its best qualities in the listing. Hosts should give a brief description of their home, henceforth known as a "Spot", then choose a befitting rate for a nightly stay.
As a Guest, users are able to peruse through CraneBnB to find the perfect place for their stay in Seattle.
Hear the people's voice
CraneBnB gives its members the ability to voice their opinions and share their experiences from previous stays.
Users can also delete any reviews they've previously posted, if they so choose.
