Do you share a house, car, motorhome, boat, aircraft dog, horse or anything else?

If you are happy to tell me about [...]
This article about rental websites in the Boston Globe came to my attention today. I’m pleased to find out about a few more rental websites, I knew about Rentalic but there are several mentioned that I hadn’t heard about before.
