    It used to be a good thing, all the way up until like 2015.

    Back then, hotels were kinda of shit. And the person running your Airbnb was some retirees who had an extra room. So getting a comfy bed for like 1/2 price as a hotel, along with some other perks like money back in the community, or a nice home cook feel, was nice.

    Now, airbnbs are run by real estate companies. And many even have bs like “vacuum the house and put the dirty bedding in the wash”. And hotels have gotten significantly better. Many hotels are adding mini kitchens. Others cleaned up.
