We have used VEE R B O, Flip Key, Home Away, and always had good experiences. Even used them for three European countries. Just remember you get what you pay for, so anything ridiculously cheap probably has some problems.

The thing I like about the first one I mentioned is the fact that you can scroll down the listings and tell right away which ones take pets. We don't like to eat out every day and enjoy having more room and better seating than a hotel room affords.

Our only bad experience was an overnight rental in France at the Le Mans 24 auto race (for our son) through Air bnb, but they refunded our total amount immediately. We had a stellar 2br/2bath penthouse apartment through them in NYC while attending a family wedding.
