Poring over text-only rental listings is about as fun as re-reading your old tax returns. Luckily, there’s a new website called FlyRig that provides maps, localized searches, and the ability to write broker reviews.

The terms “real†and “fake†can start to lose all meaning when you talk about 2007’s Grindhouse by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.
