To build a site like airbnb , you will need 2 set of users . Let's say renters and buyers . You can create different users using devise . Devise provides a lot of in built goodies that would help you get up and started easily . Next you would need something to check for roles and authorization , you can look into either Pundit or Rolify whichever suits your need . For payment purpose , you can use Stripe which has detailed documentation and can be up and working quickly :)
