A:In Luke's Gospel, Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethelehem from Nazareth for a census and stayed in a stable, there being no room in the inn.

In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph, and the only reference is to the house where the magi visited them. In this account, the house is presumably their own home.
