Spareroom is nicer to use with the map function. But I definitely don't think its worth paying for. A lot of people with a room they want to rent out will copy and paste the exact same advert to a number of other sites especially gumtree. So its usually pretty easy to find a nice looking room on spareroom, look for a distinctive word or phrase in the advert and then search gumtree with that to find the exact same ad and contact the person without having to wait for a week or pay a fee.
Kind of agree, but at least there are fewer dodgy types on spareroom, esp the verified landlords.
Spareroom is v good if you are looking above £700, some of the more upper class types only post on there ;)
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
