SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Airbnb is offering instant booking services in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
If you've ever used the service, you know the pre-approval process can be lengthy. There can be a lot of back and forth between the host and the renter.
You can make reservations by using the Airbnb Mobile App.
Hosts will have a choice on whether to participate and renters must meet certain criteria.
