Congrats
Setting aside your anecdote, it’s now a common thing.
I weigh options between hotels and air bnb whenever I travel out of habit, and have not seen an air bnb be more practical than a hotel since the pandemic (which is really what kicked off the craze). Sure, if you’re trying to stay in the woods or on some remote beach where there aren’t hotels, it’s basically the only option. But otherwise, air bnb just hasn’t been worth it for a while for me
Eh, it's a mixed bag. My view is that it depends on your needs and where you go. I'm going to Orlando with my wife and daughter and her friend will join us, that make a hotel that can accommodate us prohibitive. Airbnb will yield better results. But I've also been in situations where the hotel location, amenities and other factors make it a clear winner. Things like check in check out, cleaning, length of stay, do you need/want laundry or a kitchen? There's no obvious answer. I am wary of the fees and the threat of fees ($500 if you make too much noise!) on some Airbnb properties.Lolz, you're doing something wrong. I've stayed in well over a dozen all in cities in the past few years and it almost always makes more sense than staying in a hotel. I've looked at hundreds and never once seen them demand you clean the place.
Does anyone else know what he's talking about saying they demand you to clean the place?
Meanwhile, B&B are mostly awesome. Haven't really had any bad experiences. In Scotland and Ireland they are almost always way better than the crappy hotel options.
