Though individual rooms for couples are available, accommodations are geared more toward families or groups of friends. Apartments are available to sleep four to 20 people...

Thousands of bloggers think, for reasons wholly unknown, that we care about what they had for breakfast or the saga of their leaking refrigerators. Conventional journalists, like Alex Beam in the Boston Globe, have seized on these slice-of-life bloggers to condemn the whole movement as justification of their own privileged status as those few who should be trusted to wield the pen in a public forum. Beam is half right—the world needs thrice daily updates on somebody’s leaking fridge like the world...
