Bounce is an awesome idea! I've struggled to find good places to store luggage in the US, while I've generally managed to find something when I travel in Europe. If you use Airbnb exclusively, most hosts let you checkin in the afternoon. So you absolutely need to store luggage somewhere while you wait for your host.

Thanks Abhishek! We’ve focused exclusively on the US to date (72 cities covered). Will cover EU later this year. It’s a massive problem - we hope to create a world where you can open the Bounce app and instantly drop your bags around the corner. Here’s a discount code I made for HN...hope you can try it soon! THANKSHN

Have you ever reached out to the Airbnb host and asked them to store your luggage before check in? This is something that I think most hotels will allow.

I've had multiple Airbnb hosts have no problem with that. However, you can't really rely on it, and unlike a hotel, figuring out timing logistics for when they will be around to let you drop it off early can be tricky/more trouble than it's worth.
