I had the last 2 months 2 appartments. Both times i was able to find the owner on facebook or their website. That saved me 1000 usd in 2 months. First don't pay the booking fees (around 500 USD). And also Mexico gets the tax on rentals trough airbnb and know how much the owner has to pay tax... So go directly, negotiate and stop paying those fees and taxes. I think in 90% of the cases i can surpass Airbnb and saves me thousands when i am travelling. I always look 500 - 1000 euro above i am willing to spent for an appartment on airbnb. Something stupid people come in, they paid the full prices. While i think there are villa's here where you could get 50% of the price so you save thousands on a holiday trip.

And for people renting out, give your property a name, than i can search on facebook and google and will find it.
