Some people are cheap, and use airbnb just as a way to spend less money. Prime example: my girlfriend. We can both easily afford a normal hotel room, especially when traveling together. But in an expensive city, spending $80/night on an airbnb instead of $200/night on a proper hotel, is to her an irresistible savings. We've had bad experiences, and we've had fights about this. There may also be cultural differences. I have a high salary, no debts, and lots of savings, and there are some things which I think are absolutely worth paying for (like a hotel room), and she just doesn't want me to.
