---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------iStopover is an alternative to hotels, sketchy vacation rentals and craigslist while travelingiStopover is a safe way to rent a place while traveling offering more search options, higher quality information, and safer financial transactions. The website is nice too.Once you type in your dates and where you want to stay, the search offers a highly organized, easy to read list, including a map of all the available locations, so you can pick the exact area you want to stay.Once you have choosen a place, there are many nice photos of the place so you can get a good idea of what the place looks like, as well as a profile of the owners, long description of the place and area, calendar of availability, amenities and reviews.The only downfalls I could find smaller cities did not have any listings, but I'm sure as the site grows, the availabilities will rise as well.(credit: Mashable)
