Real estate: Vacation rentals becoming hot business - thestar.com

Danni Stor calls herself a travel addict.

She has camped in the Kalahari Desert, worked on an archeological dig in Croatia, and sailed throughout the Caribbean.

And when she travels, Stor avoids
hotels, staying with locals to get an authentic experience. But Stor, a
Toronto art director and designer, hasn’t been able to travel much in
recent years, so she’s done the next best thing.

She has rented out on occasion a room
in her two-bedroom apartment to visitors as a way to live vicariously
as well as pay the bills.
