It's funny because AirBnB was set-up (and I still see them mainly) as a convenient solution for such gatherings, when hotels are all booked. They are the reliable reference in that case.

Granted, conferences and weddings in the US have always stricken me as operated by control-freaks who can’t accept that people able to run team of 15 scientists, or parents with three children can find a way to book a room by themselves.
