Airbnb takes on hotels with last-minute booking

Airbnb, the service that makes it easy for anyone to convert their extra space into an income-generating vacation rental, is experimenting with a new emphasis on short trips and last-minute bookings. The new features are available in San Francisco and Los Angeles and will be introduced in other cities if all goes well. The app might show a cozy bed and breakfast in Ruch, France above a historic mansion in Oregon, followed by a link to all properties designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
