Airbnb is a place for people to put their house up for rent, either for short or long term.  Home owners rent their house to strangers, sometimes the home owner is there while the renter is staying or most of the time the home owner leaves and the renter gets the whole house.  Airbnb is just the broker, they earn a percentage of the service fees.
