When Christine Karpinski visited downtown Chicago on a business trip a few weeks back, her lodgings were definitely on the luxe side.

'I had a gorgeous, corner view from the 32nd story, wireless Internet, big flat-screen TV, plush linens and towels,' she said. She also had a full kitchen with granite counters and access to a washer and dryer. The building had a gym and a pool.

She wasn't at a hotel. She was in a privately owned, two-bedroom Gold Coast condo rented out by its owner for $275 a night."
