Outside of US it seems that the main customers of Airbnb rentals are Americans, and therefore often you see a price tag a few times higher than a price of a hotel in the area. I've never seen an Airbnb cheaper than a hotel. If you want a local price, you got to use local websites, or simply ask around or walk in a hotel/bnb. Nothing beats an offline price negotiation with a hotel manager, especially for long-term stays. Out of curiosity, where did you find those cheap and convenient airbnbs?
